Voters Aren't Imagining Things. Politics Suck. For decades, politicians promised prosperity, growth, and opportunity. Washington failed to deliver. Voters are angry. And they're right. Since 1979, an hour of work buys 19% less, families pay $5,000 more in taxes and we are working harder than ever. At the same time, billionaires and trillion-dollar corporations amassed unprecedented fortunes. What happened? The Great Betrayal uncovers the political and economic decisions, by both Republicans and Democrats, that transferred $21 trillion from working families to the wealthiest 34,000 Americans. Blending historical narrative with economic analysis, tax preparer Mark Dent, walks readers through the policies, loopholes, and power plays that hollowed out the middle class. If you've felt that no matter how hard you work, you're not getting ahead-you're not imagining things. This book shows how the system was rewritten, who benefited, and what it will take to fight back.
