Ever since the Boston Tea Party, courageous and patriotic citizens have rebelled against the government's overbearing and abusive taxation of its constituents. This book is the powerful rallying cry to all Americans to continue to fight against our ever-increasing taxes. Using as a touchstone the heroic incident in Tennessee, when citizens converged on the state capitol to protest and repeatedly beat back attempts to pass a state tax, Valentine weaves an inspiring story of how patriotic citizens have stood up to taxes in the past, how many intrepid constituents continue to fight, and how Americans should resist and even revolt against taxes on a state and national level. By exploring the crippling effects of taxes on our economy and the lives of each individual citizen and drawing from the stories of other revolts (with exclusive behind-the-scenes details about the Tennessee rebellion), Valentine will anger and incite readers to action, giving them the motivation and know-how to spread the word and activate a powerful new revolution.… (més)

A lint wingnut-ish, if you get my meaning. I mean to say, no one really wants a state income tax, and I certainly applaud Mr. Valentine's efforts to prevent the same. But a book about his triumph? Smacks of making a quick buck to me. (Not that I'm against a quick buck; I just don't think the effort makes for good reading.) ( )

To tell you the truth, I didn't know if I'd like this book. It is about a tax "revolt" of sorts in Tennessee. What does that have to do with me in Texas? Well it was about runaway politicians trying to institute a state income tax "for the children" even as they waste away the money taken by the state sales tax. Texas is another non-income tax state that has to, now and again, deal with attempts by bleeding hearts to take more money from the producers in the state (always, "for the children.") So I began to read and soon was wrapped up in Valentine's breathless story of the protests (called by liberal-leaning reporters "riots" and "the Lexus Brigade," though they were comprised of people of all stripes). There were moments I actually tensed up as the fight went on. The bits of history in between were good, but the facts about taxes and government waste were excellent. I heartily recommend this book, especially if you can pick it up for three bucks like I did. ( )
