Timed for the height of the 1996 presidential campaign period, this book provides a guide to important American issues. It presents a step-by-step explanation of Bob Dole's economic plan that could transform the American tax system. Detailed charts and figures show how changes will affect American taxpayers and families, and how other fundamental changes in Washington can help spark a soaring economy. The complete transcript of the Dole and Kemp acceptance speeches at the Republican Convention in San Diego and a variety of essays are also included.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
One suspects that this book may wind up on the scrapheap of forgotten political artifacts with copies of Barry Goldwater's campaign speeches and Ross Perot's bar charts. Nevertheless, presidential candidates Bob Dole and Jack Kemp have plenty to say and they say it with plenty of detail in Trusting the People. For those who are not already bored with the campaign and for those with a taste for political arcana and losing campaign manifestoes, this just about fits the bill.
Review
In the end, one is left with a nagging sense that the Dole-Kemp plan doesn't add up (fueled in part by key figures that, in fact, do not add up). -- The New York Times Book Review, Peter G. Gosselin

Vision for Creating an America at its Fullest Potential,
By A Customer
This review is from: Trusting the People (Hardcover)
A wonderful, vibrant, and energetic treatise on the Republican vision for a Better America. Packed with specificity not often seen by presidential candidates, Bob Dole and Jack Kemp lay out exactly what they would do if elected as President and Vice President, respectively. They provide their reasons for policy ideas and explain how and why they would work to unleash the full potential of the American Economy. The book is well structured, starting out by laying out the ideas of the Dole-Kemp Economic Plan and its goals. The remainder of the book is devoted to elaborating on those ideas, with it folded together into a cohesive framework in the conclusion. I closed the book feeling refreshed and optimistic for the future of America. But I was also saddened by the fact that Dole and Kemp never had the opportunity to demonstrate the efficacy of their vision. I would recommend this book to conservatives and non-conservatives alike. Conservatives will be inspired by the Dole-Kemp vision for a more Prosperous America. Non-conservatives will perhaps gain insight into the heart of Republican ideals, possibly even dispelling some common myths about the GOP - e.g. lacking compassion, favoring the rich, etc.
