A generation ago, achieving the American dream was possible. But for today’s working middle class citizens, achieving or even envisioning the American dream is becoming almost impossible. How have we lost this integral part of our national identity? Can we recapture it?Author Thomas W. Forbes thinks so, and he outlines his plan in America’s Walls. Forbes believes that the way to reclaim America is to shrink the size of the US government, control spending, and create a financially independent country. In so doing, the middle class of America can also find financial independence and begin thriving once more.Forbes suggests incorporating the values used to make this country great, including hard work, discipline, and innovation. He details some of the major issues facing the United States of America today and provides honest, straightforward commentary on ways to solve these issues. Topics covered include illegal immigration, war on terrorism, entitlements, term limits, healthcare, education, and much more.It’s time for us all to embrace President John F. Kennedy’s words: 'Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.' America’s Walls leads the way.
