America is great, Washington is broken -- Why states matter -- What happened to the founders' vision? -- Washington is bankrupting America -- No American left alone : healthcare, education, the environment, and the tyranny of the modern administrative state -- Nine unelected judges tell us how to live -- The Federal government fiddles : ignoring national security, immigration, and the enumerated powers -- Standing athwart history not doing a damned thing -- States do the work of the people -- Retaking the reins of government : freedom and federalism for the future.

Perry shows how an increasing concentration of power in Washington will lead to further unsustainable debt, greater limits on opportunity and success, and a permanent dependency class. The two-term governor of Texas also explains how to put government back in the hands of the people.
