"The New American Supermajority"
Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" event is tied to the concepts in Arthur Brooks' new book, "The Battle: How the Fight Between Free Enterprise and Big Government Will Shape America's Future"...
At American Spectator.com, Peter Ferrara offers background and commentary:
"Here's a wow moment from the book. An April 2009 survey of registered voters asked which of the following statements about the role of government comes closer to your view:
(a) Government should promote fairness by narrowing the gap between rich and poor, spreading the wealth, and making sure that economic outcomes are equal.
(b) Government policies should promote opportunity by fostering job growth, encouraging entrepreneurs, and allowing people to keep more of what they earn.
Only 31 percent chose (a), which is the foundational view of the liberal/left."
