In 1956, presidential-hopeful Marco Rubio's parents came to America as poor immigrants and found a land of opportunity where anyone could build a better future. But now the American Dream is on life support. Millions of Americans have been left behind by an economy that doesn't value their skills and a government that would rather give them a handout than a hand up. In American Dreams Rubio offers a roadmap for restoring the land of opportunity. He explains why America now stands at a critical junction and offers a detailed economic plan to help rebuild it.
"Well worth reading...it gives precise illustrations on how the present system is ruining lives and [why it] needs to be fixed or eliminated so that people can become successful again."
-THE INTELLECTUAL CONSERVATIVE
"Rubio has put together an impressive collection of new ideas...Democrats would do well not to ignore them."
- THE NEW REPUBLIC
"For his many constructive ideas, Rubio deserves attention and even praise."
- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"Marco Rubio has the chance to be a once-in-a-generation kind of politician who challenges Americans to think differently about conservatism and potentially reorders the political universe."
