Lone Star America: How Texas Can Save Our Country - Hardcover

Texas.

It has provoked passions for the better part of two centuries. "If I owned Hell and Texas, I’d rent out Texas and live in Hell," snarled General Philip Sheridan after the Civil War.

These days a few grumpy liberals might agree with him, but far more people are wondering if Texas might be America's last, best hope.

As a matter of fact, it is, says Mark Davis. Low taxes, limited government, respect for faith and family, and a passionate devotion to freedom have made Texas the envy of the nation. Texans didn't invent these principles, but they stuck with them when they went out of fashion. People can live by other principles, of course you can see the results in California and New York.

In Lone Star America, you'll learn:
Why everyone should remember the Alamo
How a government behaves if it wants more private-sector jobs
Why pundits who call the Texas economic miracle a "myth" are out of touch with reality
The real motive of those who sneer at Texas schools (which are probably better than your own)
How the gushers of a century ago set the stage for the energy-friendly economy that's still booming today
All about the Texans who might be your next president
Which states are following Texas's example, which aren't, and how it's working out

The leading radio talk show host in Texas, Mark Davis knows the political and business leaders of the Lone Star State, and he talks every day with the ordinary Texans who keep the incredible economic engine humming. No one has a better understanding of the attitudes and values that are the keys to Texas's success.

"In the midst of America's seemingly endless economic winter," says Sean Hannity, "we keep hearing about a place where things are different. That place is Texas, and Mark Davis is here to tell you that everything you've heard is true."
