America Abandoned
“From right wing conservatives to Wall Street fat cats, progressive writer Jill Cody delivers a no-holds-barred look at a country that’s becoming politically, morally and financially bankrupt.”
— Thom Hartmann, nationally syndicated talk show host and bestselling author
The American people have been abandoned. Behemoth corporations, the uber-rich, the media, Congress, and the Supreme Court have withdrawn their support from “We, the People”, in spite of their duty, allegiance, or responsibility to American citizens.
Billionaires and corporations are flourishing as they abandon loyalty to employees and American citizens. The same wealthy people and corporations are hoarding billions of dollars offshore to avoid paying taxes while privatizing their profits and subsidizing their losses. By doing so, they are intentionally abandoning their civic responsibility for the obscene accumulation of profit, and are impeding the government’s ability to serve the public good.
When you read this eye-opening expose´, you will discover:
- who launched the Velvet Coup
- which seminal moments in U.S. history are threatening our democracy today

This book’s optimism speaks to the hope that, when we realize we have lost something of great value, we will fight to get it back.
