Book Reviews of Coolidge

Book Review: A Model President for America
Summary: 5 Stars

Robert Sobel writes an excellent biography about an often misunderstood Calvin Coolidge whose leadership and views as president are seemingly underrated. Coolidge truly understood the value of low taxes and a federal government with a limited scope to promote a prosperous and moral nation. Although Coolidge would never publicly speak ill of a political opponent, let alone mention their name, history has proven and continues to prove the defects in the socialist, big government, high taxes, wealth redistributionist ideologies of his successors. Modern politicians should take note: "The business of America is business" [because business creates wealth; government only squanders it]. Thank you Mr. Sobel for your excellent work.
