Résumé :
From Justice Department officials seizing people's homes based on mere rumors, to the I.R.S. and its master plan to prohibit the nation's self-employed from working for themselves, to the perpetrators of the Waco siege, government officials across the land are tearing the Bill of Rights to pieces. And, with the Clinton administration calling for sweeping new governmental power over the nation's environment, health care, and workers, the plight of American liberty is guaranteed to worsen. Today's citizen is ever more likely to violate some unknown law or regulation and be placed at the mercy of an administrator or politician hungering for publicity. And, unfortunately, the only way many government agencies can measure their "public service" is by the number of citizens they harass, hinder, restrain, or jail. Lost Rights provides a highly entertaining and outrageous analysis of the plight of contemporary Americans, beaten into submission by a government that has become a horrible parody of the Founding Fathers's dream.
