Does your gut tell you neither the Left, nor the Right knows how to solve our nation's biggest, most chronic problems, or has a plan to help All Americans win? Are you feeling stuck in the middle with no good place to go? Would you prefer sane solutions and grown-up conversation? We have been gradually brainwashed to believe our nation is falling apart. Nothing could be further from the truth. The chance of living in poverty is not rising, the shrinking middle-class does not spell the end of the American Dream, the free-enterprise system is not the cause of inequalities, and borders and tariffs will not protect jobs. This is the data, not delusion. This does not mean that we do not have serious problems to solve. Millions of people still struggle to find work and make ends meet. Unfortunately, modern politicians, professors and pundits continue to misdiagnose the root causes. They mislead and divide us, simply for political gain. This book offers truth. You will not read it and look at politics, our socioeconomic issues, or what you see in the news, the same way, ever again. There are better ways, but no one is talking about them, yet. All can prosper. We can end the either-or arguments. We can choose to stop bouncing back and forth between terrible ideas. We can fly higher in a new direction, UP!
