Author's Review

This book explains in detail how big corporations & politicians operate and is very funny. I love the chapter where he says life should start with the sperm, and millions of men are recklessly aborting their sperm. He does other crazy things like trying to have a politician picked up and put in a loony bin. He tells us in detail about how corrupt the politicians are and how they bow down for their lobbyists and offer tax abatements and donations to big corporations. He sets up numerous political organisations such as "Pedophiles for free trade" and makes donations to politicians and then explains how he got on.

Other crazy things he does is calling up the South African embassy to get Nelson Mandela to free America from "apartheid", he proposes to set up a privatised prison named "Mike's Penal systems". He calls up the Department of Commerce to enquire about how he would best go about relocating his business in Mexico. He tries to find a union for the 2 researchers working on his book, which was a very difficult task indeed. He also tries to get third world aid for some poor parts of America.

He explains very well how corrupt America is and how everything the politicians do is for "the industry" and makes me glad I don't live there, he proposes the lobbyists should run for election instead. He writes letters to the mayor of New York threatening to pack up his business and move back to his home town (which is still in ruins after GM laid off 30000 workers there) and further explains how corporations blackmail the government by threatening to relocate and lay off workers.

Michael attacks everyone, Republicans, Democrats, CEO's and even the labour union leaders. He accuses the union leaders of getting too comfortable with their $100.000 pay check and turning their back on the union. He writes a whole chapter called "Democrat? Republican? Can you tell the difference"

While I already knew about most of the issues and corruptions he speaks about in this book the way he proposes to deal with them is truly hilarious.
