Publisher's Note What would happen if the American public could set the federal government's spending priorities to fit their individual needs? The author of this provocative new book tells us -- just as Congress begins to consider a genuine overhaul of the U.S. tax code. Leonard Greene spells out a bold new plan called The National Tax Rebate which would replace existing government programs with a monthly check for every American. That's right! Hundreds of government programs and the bureaucratic maze that goes along with them would be replaced by a monthly check to your family -- the equivalent of a $1,000 paycheck for a family of four.
