Think You Still Have Property Rights?

It's obvious that our property rights have been seriously undermined. The Columbia Gorge story should convince you. Add to that the Kelo decision in CT and the CAO ordinances all over Washington State. Ask yourself why the environmental movement hardly mentions the "other half" of the economy, i.e. the people that privately create jobs. Government spending to create jobs or save nature is not an "investment", as it is when you invest for a small gain (interest on the use of your money). Government "investment" is taxation. And they did it by trickery.

The Painful Truth

In "Trashing the Planet", Arnold and Gottlieb pull the curtain back on the current environmental movement. They show that the policies and beliefs of most of the mainstream environmental groups would shock most of the "average" environmentalists. Being Green feels good, but cannot be intellectully supported by the new-luddites of today. Arnold and Gottlieb deliver a well reasoned, logical, expose of the movement.
