Making Waves: Bold Exposes from Talk Radio's Number One Nighttime Host

I'm reading Michael Reagan's book "Making Waves" now. The chapter that covers the various alternative tax systems needs to be updated. When Michael Reagan wrote this book (1996), the FairTax was just getting started. He talks about the "National Sales Tax" idea, and points out several (4 as I recall) flaws with the plan. Since his book was written, all of these "flaws" have been researched, considered, and taken care of. For example, the FairTax "prebate" plan totally untaxes the poor, by giving every legal person (but not illegals) in the US a check (or debit account deposit) each month. This ammount is negligible to the super rich, but again, completely untaxes the poor. I'd like to see Michael Reagan reconsider this chapter in his book and update it with new information since it's first edition.

Mike Reagan's book is as timely in 2005 as it was when it was written in 1996. From the One World Government to the Clinton friends death list to our inability to defend ourselves in the event of a nuclear war, it's all there. This book can be read a chapter at a time, in no particular sequence because each chapter has a seperate message. It is a must for all people, you can differ with Mike's views, but let's have a national discussion about the important issues rather than the leftists trying to stop everything that isn't run by the government.

One of my friend's dads gave me this book to read and it was fantastic. Mike has great opinions on all subject that has to do with current issues. Liberals won't like this book but I think they should read it to get a great argument to their ideas. Mike writes as if he's right there talking to you. It's a good book explaining a lot of "conservative" ideas in detail. Easy reading and full of insight. It didn't get my 5 stars because Mike tends to use a lot of numbers and figures when proving his points. I know people say the numbers don't lie, but I just think people can use numbers to their advantage to easily.

Although Mike gives us a glimpse into the events which shaped his life, most readers will probably be more interested in the events that shape their lives, and Mr. Reagan has plenty to say about that. Most political and social liberals will probably not enjoy this book, but it should be must reading for everyone interested in the socio-political scene. Mike compiles info on a number of important subjects that seldom get this thorough a treatment, and that is what makes the book spellbinding, relevant, and overdue. Don't even think about not reading this one!
