I agree with the book idea.
“Atlas Shrugged” by Ayn Rand is an excellent mind opening piece of fiction regarding a free economy vs. public good.
It goes into many more thoughts, but too numerous to mention here.
I wish I would have read it earlier in my life. The Bible is the most important book i’ve read/reading. But I consider “Atlas Shrugged” second.
It will do a very good job putting the ridiculous views of liberals and socialists into the face of the reader. If they read it, their eyes should be somewhat open to the error in their views.
Actually, there are 2 books I recommend: the Bible and Atlas Shrugged.
Atlas Shrugged is what I got my Obama worshipping brother for Christmas! That and some conservative economics books. He complained he didn’t know enough about economics (obviously) and wanted to learn more.... so he can’t whine too much because he got what he wanted.
