Описание:
A magisterial comparative study, Proud to Punish recenters our understanding of modern punishment through a sweeping analysis of the global phenomenon of "rough justice": the use of force to settle accounts and enforce legal and moral norms outside the formal framework of the law. While taking many forms, including vigilantism, lynch mobs, people's courts, and death squads, all seekers of rough justice thrive on the deliberate blurring of lines between law enforcers and troublemakers. Digital networks have provided a profitable arena for vigilantes, who use social media to build a following and publicize their work, as they degrade the bodies of the accused for purposes of edification and entertainment. It is this unabashed pride to punish, and the new punitive celebrations that actualize, publicize, and commercialize it, that this book brings into focus. Recounted in lively prose, Proud to Punish is both a global map of rough justice today and an insight into the deeper nature of punishment as a social and political phenomenon.
In recent years, it has become fashionable to bash the United States, to discuss how destructive we have been as a nation and to deny this country of its founding principles. Most Americans simply do not subscribe to that. We believe we are an exceptional, God-blessed country and we must stand up for that or this nation will fall. "How to Raise An American Patriot" reinforces that pride in our country by telling the stories of 13 patriots who reveal their secrets for teaching future generations to love our country and understand why they live in the greatest nation on Earth. Listen to the story of former Attorney General Ed Meese tell about his childhood growing up when our country was entrenched in World War II. Hear about Red State Editor Erick Erickson's American History classes he took as a child growing up in Dubai. Read about Jackie Gingrich Cushman's childhood adventures on the campaign trail with her dad, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich. Hear how they have raised their own kids to love our country. These stories will strike a chord with American parents. They inspire pride in our country and encourage you to teach your own children or grandchildren, nieces or nephews, why there's nowhere on Earth that compares to the United States of America.

Описание:
A surprising and revealing look at what Americans really believe about taxes
Conventional wisdom holds that Americans hate taxes. But the conventional wisdom is wrong. Bringing together national survey data with in-depth interviews, Read My Lips presents a surprising picture of tax attitudes in the United States. Vanessa Williamson demonstrates that Americans view taxpaying as a civic responsibility and a moral obligation. But they worry that others are shirking their duties, in part because the experience of taxpaying misleads Americans about who pays taxes and how much. Perceived "loopholes" convince many income tax filers that a flat tax might actually raise taxes on the rich, and the relative invisibility of the sales and payroll taxes encourages many to underestimate the sizable tax contributions made by poor and working people.
Americans see being a taxpayer as a role worthy of pride and respect, a sign that one is a contributing member of the community and the nation. For this reason, the belief that many Americans are not paying their share is deeply corrosive to the social fabric. The widespread misperception that immigrants, the poor, and working-class families pay little or no taxes substantially reduces public support for progressive spending programs and undercuts the political standing of low-income people. At the same time, the belief that the wealthy pay less than their share diminishes confidence that the political process represents most people.
Upending the idea of Americans as knee-jerk opponents of taxes, Read My Lips examines American taxpaying as an act of political faith. Ironically, the depth of the American civic commitment to taxpaying makes the failures of the tax system, perceived and real, especially potent frustrations.
