Wayne Allyn Root, Prognosticator

Wayne’s predictions have been uncannily prescient.

In his many appearances on Fox News, Fox Business, and CNBC, Wayne has predicted the collapse of the dollar, the decline of the U.S. economy, the dangers of the Fed, the looming disaster of public employee pensions, the great national threat of debt, the potential for a dramatic rise in inflation, and the incredible rise of gold and silver.

He was among the first to warn of economic Armageddon if Obama’s big government, big tax, big spend, big union, Nanny State policies were allowed to take effect. Wayne coined the phrase “Obama Axis of Evil” to describe the President’s support for taxation, regulation, government strangulation, unionization, litigation and illegal immigration. Wayne also predicted the rise of the Tea Party movement in his book, written in 2008.

Wayne Allyn Root, Capitalist Evangelist

In addition to being sought after for his political opinion, Wayne is a shining light in the business world – an entrepreneur, economist, small businessman, distinguished business speaker, best-selling author, and passionate “Capitalist Evangelist.”

Wayne is frequently tapped for his business acumen, appearing weekly on the nationally syndicated Big Biz Show with his segment ROOT on Business, serving as Senior Economic Advisor to a global financial services company, national spokesman for a precious metals firm, as well as serving on multiple Boards of Directors.

Wayne Allyn Root, Freedom Fighter

A college classmate of Barack Obama at Columbia University (Class of ’83), Wayne is now the face and voice of Libertarian-conservative politics in the mainstream national media – with thousands of media appearances since the 2008 election. In each of those appearances he is a dynamic and passionate fighter on behalf of small business owners, taxpayers, entrepreneurship, capitalism, free markets, and dramatically lower taxes to reward the heroes of the business world – financial risk takers.

A home-school father (whose daughter now attends Harvard), Wayne is a passionate supporter of alternative education, school choice, charter schools, vouchers to encourage taxpayer choice, parental freedom, the end of tenure for teachers, and teacher pay based on performance – just as in the private sector.

His latest book, The Conscience of a Libertarian: Empowering the Citizen Revolution with God, Guns, Gold & Tax Cuts! was ranked #1 at Amazon in the category of Libertarian Books for twelve consecutive months.
