Uncle Sam's Plantation: How Big Government Enslaves America's Poor and What We Can Do About It (Revised and Updated) (Book/ Paperback)

Product Overview

Uncle Sam's Plantation is an incisive look at how government manipulates, controls, and ultimately devastates the lives of the poor-and what Americans must do to stop it. Once a hustler and welfare addict who was chewed up and spit out by the ruthless welfare system, Star Parker sheds much needed light on the bungled bureaucratic attempts to end poverty and reveals the insidious deceptions perpetrated by self-serving politicians.

"Star Parker's new book brings us back to eternal truths-faith, family, love, and responsibility." - Dr. Laura Schlessinger

"Casts new light on the redemptive power of freedom." -Rush Limbaugh
