註釋
We blame builders if a home is badly constructed. We blame automakers if a car has to be recalled. But when it comes to government, we put the blame everywhere except where it belongson the heads of American politicians of both parties who run the country. There's no doubt about the mess: high taxes, government waste in multibillions, a weakened middle class, loss of our manufacturing base, trade deficits, corrupt campaign financing, the failure of welfare, and tolerance for corporate high jinks. The political system that worked so well for America is now structurally broken. And the entrenched political class is the villain. Meanwhile the parties have become trade unions for self-serving professional politicians. In The Political Racket, Martin L. Gross, bestselling author of The Government Racket: Washington Waste From A to Z and A Call for Revolution, puts American politicians under a microscope for the first time and finds them finds them sadly lacking.
