Summary: Deeper than the title shows
Comment: The title, as is all too common in such forthrightly biased (though not necessarily incorrect in its assertions) political texts, is highly inflammatory and doesn't tell you much beyond the obvious--that quite a lot of a Bush bashing is contained within.
Thus, upon starting the book, I was pleasantly surprised. Instead of listing all the old, well-worn arguments presented in the more moderate liberal bestsellers, "Robbing Us Blind" focuses on one topic, the continuing economic (and as a result political) gap between the megarich and the rest of us. The book is written very clearly, and employs many sources and statistics. The data presented is interesting, but is often overly simplified, and as a result I was sometimes wondering whether numbers had been convienently left out.
Regardless, as a whole, the book is very persuasive in its case, and goes a fairly satisfying way towards suggesting possible changes. Though I'm sure most conservatives would find some way or other to unfairly dismiss or bash the book, it is recommended reading for liberals interested in learning about the many problems with America's economic situation.

Summary: Robbing Us Blind
Comment: After hearing Steve Brauwer speak at a Pocono Progressives rally, I was anxious to read his book. It lived up to expectations. He presents an incontrovertible argument of the long history of the Bush families taking advantage of their wealth and position with no regard for the ordinary American. He impeccably documents his facts with graphs and charts. The pointed illustrations are an added bonus.
Rating: 5
Summary: Essential Reading!
Comment: Surely you have often wondered what the deal is with Bush's rather repulsive smirk. Read this book and that expression ("yah, you think I'm stupid, but you don't know the half of it...") may begin to make more sense to you. "Robbing Us Blind" makes a compelling case for the immediate impeachment of the Bush Gang. (How did we let things get this bad, anyway?) Brouwer writes clearly and elegantly. Matt Wuerker's illustrations are a great addition to the text. Read this book and pass it on. Then get out there and do something!
