Overview

I'm not a politician. Like you, I'm sick of seeing government take almost half the national income and then dole it back to us as though we are children on an allowance. I'm tired of politicians using the crime problem as an excuse for seizing property and liberties from innocent citizens. And I'm not fooled by "welfare reform" that doesn't change anything, or by showy "spending cuts" that add up to a bigger government budget. As a lifelong libertarian, I'm running for president with a simple platform: We can have higher incomes, safer cities, better schools, and a more civil society if we reduce the size of government drastically - rather than just slowing its growth. This book presents a realistic plan for cutting government, and it shows how you can make me keep my promises if elected.

This is the Libertarian presidential candidate's manifesto for change. Why Government Doesn't Work is Browne's summation of his platform--a provocative mix of ideas that will speak to the millions of Americans who feel ripped off and frustrated by big government, whether Democrats or Republicans are in charge.
