About this ebook
If Al Capone were alive today, he'd own a bank, a credit card company or a Wall Street brokerage and make more money than he ever did being a crook. He'd also be admired and respected. The economy was never an even playing field but it is worse than ever. At the same time, big money has corrupted our political system so that politicians with their hands over their hearts and flag pins in their lapels are not what they seem. Our government lies and deceives us repeatedly. Democracy was once in sight, a light at the end of the long tunnel of history but now that light is a sputtering candle in the wind. We also have now become one of the world's largest empires, bringing havoc almost everywhere we go.
This is exactly where America is today: The Looting of America shows in vivid detail how we got here.
