Excerpts from Mark Steyn's new book.
Today, one in three members of the workforce needs government permission or certification to do their job. Sixty years ago, that number was one in twenty. The vast majority of America's wealthiest counties lie within the Washington commuter belt. What matters today is proximity not to industry or wealth creation but to government.
Worried about illegal immigration? The Obamacrats tell us it's too difficult to close our southern border. Pie in the sky. Can't be done. Ah, but change the climate of the entire planet to some unspecified Eden-like state? That we can do. Madness, sheer madness.
