{"product_id":"more-liberty-means-less-govt-9780817996123","title":"More Liberty Means Less Govt","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this new collection of thoughtful, hard-hitting essays, Walter E. Williams once again takes on the left wing's most sacred cows with provocative insights, brutal candor, and an uncompromising reverence for personal liberty and the principles laid out in our Declaration of Independence and Constitution. He challenges the assumptions of contemporary liberalism with ruthless honesty, presenting an impressive array of powerful ideas and substantive information to frame his perspectives on the issues facing America in such critical areas as race, sex, government, law, education, the environment, and international relations. Williams's often controversial views include commentary on\u003c\/p\u003e -\u003ci\u003eWomen in the Military.\u003c\/i\u003e \"At Parris Island, it was discovered that 45 percent of female Marines were unable to throw a hand grenade far enough to avoid blowing themselves up. If I were in a foxhole with a woman about to toss a hand grenade, I'd consider her the enemy.\"\u003cbr\u003e -\u003ci\u003eRacial and Gender Quotas.\u003c\/i\u003e \"The only reason the elite haven't mandated quotas for women, Japanese, and other underrepresented groups in the NBA and the NFL is because the folly and costs of their cosmic justice vision would be exposed.\"\u003cbr\u003e -\u003ci\u003eAffirmative Action.\u003c\/i\u003e \"Too many blacks receive twelve years of fraudulent primary and secondary education that cannot be overcome by four years of college. Unfortunately, liberals and civil rights organizations add to that disaster by giving unquestioned support to a corrupt education establishment that produces the fraud.\"\u003cbr\u003e -\u003ci\u003eThe Americans with Disabilities Act.\u003c\/i\u003e \"In some quarters, the ADA is taken to stand for 'Attorney's Dream Answered.' And who pays? You and I, through higher prices or less convenience.\"\u003cbr\u003e -\u003ci\u003eThe Minimum Wage.\u003c\/i\u003e \"Low wages are more a result of people being underproductive than being underpaid. They simply do not have the skills to produce and do things their fellow man highly values. The minimum wage law is evil legislation and deserving of repeal altogether.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing the fundamentals of economics--and basic common sense--to prove his points, Williams offers wise, witty, and stimulating insights on these and other controversial subjects, including corporate welfare, gun control, environmental regulations, free trade, abortion, the public school system, tobacco industry regulation, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-369885\"\u003eWalter E.
