Do you feel that life is too focused on making ends meet: mortgage, credit card, and car payments, paying back student loans, childcare fees, health insurance premiums, and perhaps putting food on the table? And on top of that, thinking about saving for a rainy day and for retirement? Do you think that you don’t have as much control of your life as you would like? And as a result, are you attracted to the promise of a government safety net from cradle-to-grave that will take care of all of the above and more, and let you focus on the important things in life? Whether you answered “yes” or "no" to these questions, this book is for you. 

Asserting that you have the moral right to be in control of your life, Think Right or Wrong, Not Left or Right (2nd Expanded Edition): A 21st Century Citizen Guide advocates that neither today’s political left nor right have your best interests at hand. Their alluring promise of a cradle-to-grave safety net is deceptive, because in reality, it transfers control of your life from you to society, one government program, one tax, and one regulation at a time. The book shows why the traditional political left-to-right spectrum presents you with two false alternatives, and that politics instead should be viewed through a morally right-to-wrong lens. 

Whether you consider yourself left-, right-, or independent-leaning, Think Right or Wrong, Not Left or Right (2nd Expanded Edition): A 21st Century Citizen Guide challenges your views of morality and politics—and provides a reset on what it means to be in control of your life. The second expanded edition contains updated examples of current events to illustrate many of the timeless themes in the book. It also includes new sections covering inflation, taxes, and infrastructure, issues that are more prominently on our minds today than when the first edition was published in 2020.
