No, They Can't: Why Government Fails—But Individuals Succeed

New York Times bestselling journalist John Stossel shows how the expansion of government control is destructive for American society. Politicians—and we voters—can dream of guaranteed incomes or green energy. But the mature response to cries of “Yes, we can!” should be “No, we can’t”—not when “we” means government.

Stossel insists that we discard the myth of the “perfect” government—left or right—and retrain our brain to rethink our lives as independent individuals in light of such topics as HEALTH CARE • DEFENSE SPENDING JOB CREATION • GUN CONTROL PUBLIC EDUCATION • ENERGY MINIMUM-WAGE LAWS • CLIMATE CHANGE THE NATIONAL DEBT • POLITICAL CORRECTNESS THE ASSAULT ON FOOD . . . and much more!
