From Dick Morris: How you’re being fleeced by Big Government, Big Business, Big Labor, and Big Lobbyists
And how you can fight back!
Fleeced
by Dick Morris and Eileen McGann
Americans feel fleeced at every turn, and it's no wonder. As more and more critical problems develop that need national attention, the White House and Congress are effectively AWOL. And who’s calling the shots instead? Big
government, big business, big labor, and big lobbyists -- all with self-serving agendas that do nothing to help the ever-increasing number of American people who are losing their homes, paying exorbitant credit card interest rates, and finding their jobs increasingly outsourced to foreign countries. Now, in Fleeced: How Barack Obama, Media Mockery of Terrorist Threats, Liberals Who Want to Kill Talk Radio, the New Do-Nothing Congress, Companies That Help Iran, and Washington Lobbyists for Foreign Governments Are Fleecing Us . . . and What to Do About It, Dick Morris and Eileen McGann help you, the American taxpayer, defend not only yourself, but also our embattled nation.
(continued from above)
Fleeced details the many ways in which American taxpayers are routinely fleeced by their own government, revealing how foreign countries and domestic corporations are trying to set the agenda for our Congress and executive
branch. Morris and McGann, the bestselling authors of Outrage, also show how labor unions are fleecing you, fattening the coffers of the union treasury by luring members into questionable investments. And will conditions
improve after the election? Not likely: the three candidates for President, McCain, Obama, and Hillary, are fleecing you as well! They've amassed among the worst attendance records in the Senate, missing almost all the key debates and votes that have taken place during their campaigns -- and yet, even though they don't show up for work, they faithfully pick up their salaries. That's right: they’re each getting $165,000 a year -- for doing nothing.
Nor does it end with the Presidential candidates. Morris and McGann fearlessly name names as they show which senators and congressmen are fleecing us the most. But they not only name the worst offenders -- they also offer solid,
practical ways to turn the tide, explaining how we can compel our elected officials to start working for us, instead of spending all their time raising money for their campaigns and patting the backs of the special interests.
It's time for some accountability in government, say Morris and McGann, and the call for that accountability starts here. Fleeced is dedicated to finding the culprits, exposing their deeds, and crafting remedies. It's time to make other public officials understand that we’ll no longer be fleeced. When the lights come on, the cockroaches scurry for cover. Read this book and get out the roach spray!
Morris and McGann reveal:
How the company Bill Clinton works for fleeced the vulnerable elderly
The liberals’ secret plan to muzzle talk radio
How the liberal media routinely downplays the jihad terror threat -- in order to elect Democrats
Bill Clinton’s extensive and shady financial dealings in Dubai -- and why they have never been investigated
The United Arab Emirates: the gaggle of lobbyists who watch out for its various interests in Washington -- including numerous Clinton aides and cronies
The extraordinarily high number of released Guantanamo detainees who return to jihad activity and kill again
How we can block toys that poison children from being sold in America. . .and from being made in China
How America's largest teachers union, the National Education Association (NEA), actively encourages its members to invest in high cost annuity policies that squander their savings and sap their retirement nest eggs -- in return for millions of dollars a year in kickbacks to the unions from the companies pushing the plans
Contractor fraud in Iraq: some fight for freedom, while others use war to get rich – how no less than $8.8 billion of American taxpayer' money has simply disappeared in Iraq
Foreign companies and American pension funds that are helping Iran build a nuclear bomb
The new lobbyists: peddling the agendas of foreign governments, oppressive dictators, and foreign corporations to the U.S. Government and the American
public
A simple, three-step formula for success in public education
Why we must give parents the option of sending their children to charter schools that are free of union control
Did you know that Hillary Clinton was really the President for 8 years? Her outlandish lies about (among other things) brokering the peace agreement in Northern Ireland -- in which she actually played no role
Hillary's odd, leftist Christianity: how she sees a mandate to help the poor by confiscating money from the wealthy in Christ’s determination to expel the moneychangers from the temple
Hillary’s Health Care Task Force: the biggest failure in domestic policy since FDR’s court-packing fiasco
The unnoticed but real reason why Hillary supported the Iraq war for as long as she did, even when it became increasingly evident that a pro-war position would hurt her among Democratic primary voters when she ran for
president
The legislative program a Democratic president will advocate in 2009-10: a lurch to the left equal to those of the Roosevelt and Johnson administrations
How President Hillary or President Obama will repeal the Bush tax cuts, increase the capital gains tax, lift the cap on Social Security taxes, increase the rates in the highest brackets -- and spend, spend, spend
How a new Democrat President will most likely defang the Patriot Act and NSA wiretapping will remain in force, and order the Department of Justice to stop taking terrorist investigations seriously and pursuing them aggressively
Hillary: How she, in the interest of extending health coverage to illegal immigrants who shouldn’t be here in the first place, would subject us all to health-care rationing -- courtesy of the government
How our presidential candidates spread the message of optimism, the "audacity of hope" -- yet unnoticed in their inspirational rhetoric are their plans to cripple our efforts to reform education; to let criminals and
crack dealers out of prison; and to send our economy into a downward spiral

This book is about truths and as Americans, we need to wake up. It is amazing to such a high degree that the Hollywood smoke and mirrors is now evident in our everyday life. Our children/young adults have gotten so use to it that they believe and do not bother to dig down to find out who is behind it all. This book opened by eyes and made clearer what I already "thought" I knew but had my head in the sand in denial mode. Remember, sometimes it's not as it all seems. A GREAT read. Always remember to keep your heart & mind open and not close out things that might not sit comfortable with you. Beware and we can change a bad destiny if we all stick together, all races.
I know you research and analyze everything you write. You are brilliant and fair, that is why I bought your book and would never miss your appearance on Fox or any other program. Thank you for explaining and helping us understand how America is being chipped away and broken down. Thanks from SC!
Morris & McGann's book would have been a better read had it not been for his blatantly obvious. That agenda is also accompanied by taking a swipe at the system of government. The system which Morris helped to manipulate, create and sell back to the American public and then a system that eventually spat him out, like it always does when a surrogate is no longer useful. The majority of Morris's 'facts' are FOX news based attacks against the Democrats. None of which is supported by actual evidence just innuendo style rhetoric. Morris says, "No one seems to be doing the hard work of actually going through Obama's positions, looking at what he's for and against, and what he would do as president,” says Morris. "That's what we attempt to do in this book."
In truth, that is ALL Obama has done since announcing his candidacy. It's just that Morris et al have a juxtaposed position on how THEY think America should move forward.
Morris also refers to 'Obama's self-proclamation as the candidate of change' a position that Hillary tried and failed and now McCain and Palin have since adopted because they have cottoned on to how important and necessary the American people wish to move forward from the 8 years of the Bush presidency.
If Morris and McGann are to be taken seriously in dealing with the corruption of government then why has he NOT included a specific section on John McCain's BIG OIL connections within his campaign team? and how that is FLEECING the American public. I suppose that would be too much to ask from a former friend of Bill & Hillary Clinton?
Best to keep in the juicy salacious nonsense disguised as the truth so that the American people feel that they uncovered something truly worth reading. Don't bother...Morris et al has sold any dignity he may have had in the final pages of this work of fiction. Buy this book and you too will be FLEECED...but once again by the likes of Morris and McGann.
