The Ruling Class: How They Corrupted America and What We Can Do About It Review

The 22 page version of this sold out locally when it hit the newsstands in the July/August issue of The American Spectator. Codevilla puts his finger on the pulse of how most Americans feel concerning our career politicians. The Ruling Class for too long has been running the show; one can't tell much difference between career Democrats or Republicans. It's Democrat or "Democrat Lite," the GOP. This problem has led to the rise of the unruly Tea Party; those Americans who are beginning to refuse to submit to the dictates of the Ruling Class and its enablers.
Tea Party people couldn't care less about being cool and hip, but are deeply concerned about the future, and this is where Codevilla takes us. This is a guide to the Ruling Class and how to counter it. This is the guidebook for those of us that don't like where we have ended up after being led for years by this subspecies of human being. Codevilla includes the Declaration of Independence, as well as the Constitution in his book. Even those who consider themselves well educated on issues have read the original article that Codevilla wrote and have been astounded by his insight. This book takes it further. I would recommend this book, as well as Goldberg's "Bias," and Hayek's "The Road to Serfdom" as must reads for those who are looking for insight. Codevilla's book on Switzerland during WWII and the extortion by politicians, those connected to them, and corrupt judges of over one-billion dollars from Swiss banks is a good read also(Between the Alps and a Hard Place).

The Ruling Class: How They Corrupted America and What We Can Do About It Overview

In this profound and incisive work, Angelo M. Codevilla introduces readers to the Ruling Class, the group of bipartisan political elites who run America. This Ruling Class, educated at prestigious universities and convinced of its own superiority, has everything to gain by raising taxes and expanding the reach of government. This class maintains that it knows what is best and continually increases its power over every facet of American life, from family and marriage to the environment, guns, and God.

It is becoming increasingly apparent that this Ruling Class does not represent the interests of the majority of Americans, who value self-rule and the freedom on whose promise America was founded. Millions of Americans are now reasserting our right to obey the Constitution, not the Ruling Class. This desire transcends all organizations and joins independents, Republicans, and Democrats into The Country Party, whose members embody the ideas and habits that made America great. The majority of Americans feel that the Ruling Class is demeaning us, impoverishing us, demoralizing us, and want to be rid of it.

Clear statement of the trouble we are in - T. Meeker -
It is not the GOP vs. the White House and the Congress. It is the White House and the Congress vs. American people. The ruling class wants to reshape you, your family, and your community. A clear statement of the problem we face today with no workable solution offered. A must read! The solution to this political mess we are in lies with the readers of this book.

Great reading for liberty-oriented people - M. Nusair - Cincinnati, OH USA
A great book that puts into words what we probably knew, deep down, all along. What is the defining feature of "the elites", for example? What do Chris Matthews and John Kerry have in common? (One is fairly smart and the other being a pompous ass, but they get along so well, and both are wrong almost all the time.)

Angelo Codevilla describes the "Ruling Class" so well, and the only disappointing aspect of the book is the realization that I could never be a member of that class, regardless of my income or achievements! If you care about why this country has slid into the government-centered mess that we are now in, you must read this book. If you like it, subscribe to "American Spectator", which brought us the article on this subject that started this ball rolling.

Rush Limbaugh, on reading the Spectator article, spent some time extolling it's virtues. His take was that being a member of the "Ruling Class" was akin to sitting at the cool table in high school, a status that is hard to define but you'll know it when you see it. Those of us who didn't sit at the cool table always realized that we didn't really want to, but so many of us were envious anyway! Rush is right: many people never really left high school.

Beyond Right and Left - Henry Oliner - Macon, GA United States
Codevilla offers an analysis of our political quagmire that gets beyond left and right, red and blue, Republican and Democrat, and other simplistic and shallow descriptions.

He offers an intellectual substantiation for the tea party movement not unlike Thomas Paine's Common Sense was for the original revolution. The Elites, the Ruling Class includes most Democrats, much of Wall Street (as opposed to Main Street) and some of the Republicans vs the Country Class- those who work for a living, volunteer, value family and are more likely to value religious belief of some sort.

The problem is that the Ruling Class which is a minority of the population is cohesive while the Country Class is dispersed, tending to subject their political support to various litmus tests. The Tea Party is an effort to find some cohesiveness for the majority.

The Ruling Class is a short and clear must read for a clearer understanding of our political climate.
