The People Count

By Robert Diaz

This timely political thriller deals with the defining issue of our time: Will America once again be a place where 99% of us can earn enough to pay our bills, educate our children, own our home, afford medical care, and have a reasonable retirement, or will America remain a country where 1% of the population uses its wealth and political power to deprive the other 99% of the quality of life it deserves.Like most Americans, our heroes yearn for an authentic life, but vile members of the 1% make that hope a pipe dream. Betrayed by the very people and institutions that are supposed to serve and protect them, these modern-day avengers become a ruthless and relentless force, dedicated to stopping the breathtaking greed and corruption that have ravaged America's economy and made a mockery of democratic government.Like those in the Occupy Wall Street movement, our unlikely heroes take on America, Inc., the mega-rich, and the political pawns who helped them wreak so much pain and suffering on ordinary working people. Others, with substantial resources and invaluable expertise, are motivated to enter the fray. Together, with our heroes, they provide the catalyst for another American Revolution.Anchored in the present, The People Count will inform, anger, and kindle fresh thoughts like no other book you have ever read.
