Review & Description
Charles F. Stamper's The Grand Old Party and The Party of the People made an admittedly humorous, yet persuasive case for the ideological bankruptcy of both the Democratic and Republican Parties. In this most crucial time, this ordinary working man embarks on a much more serious exploration of the idea that both individuals and American society as a whole are being devoured by the predominance of the two party system.
In A Dimes Difference?: Democrats, Republicans, and the US National Debt Stamper asks, what is the mechanism that allures a free people while simultaneously threatening to destroy them? In the end, Stamper's message is clear: The American republic is in extreme jeopardy. The people must now choose between preserving their own liberty and the fulfillment of this most dire warning from President George Washington: "However combinations or associations of the above description may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion."
