Voters Aren't Imagining Things. Politics Suck.

For decades, politicians promised prosperity, growth, and opportunity- Washington failed to deliver and voters are angry.

And they're right to be angry.

Since 1979, an hour of work buys 19% less, and 'tax cuts' resulted in families paying $5,000 more, not less in taxes.

At the same time, billionaires and trillion-dollar corporations amassed unprecedented fortunes.

What happened?

The Great Betrayal uncovers the political and economic decisions, by both Republicans and Democrats, that transferred $21 trillion from working families to the wealthiest 34,000 Americans.

Blending historical narrative with economic analysis, tax preparer Mark Dent, walks readers through the policies, loopholes, and power plays that hollowed out the middle class.

If you've felt that no matter how hard you work, you're not getting ahead—you're not imagining things. This book shows how the system was rewritten, who benefited, and what it will take to fight back.
