Our country has been built on numerous cultural ideas that no longer exist today. Twilight of the Idols: An American Story explains how the foundational principles of our society have been and are being eroded by a single root cause. A cause that has grown in a completely bi-partisan way under both parties since the 1980s.While our wealth has tripled since the 1980s, 99 percent of families have experienced a net decline in their income, spending power, and savings and we are seeing the first generation in American history where a majority of children will have a lower socioeconomic standing than their parents. The American Dream is dying on our watch.Twilight of the Idols: An American Story endeavors to deliver two things: to make this root cause accessible to everyone and to propose solutions that the American people, not its leaders, can act on. This is a book for Republican, Democrat, and Independent Americans who want a country where their children can have the same shot at the American Dream that they did.
