Publisher's Note
Hightower is at it again, this time taking aim at those bedrock institutions that drive the economic and cultural life of the country. As the man himself says, "I am an agitator, and an agitator is the center post in a washing machine that gets the dirt out." In this lucid, viciously funny, downright refreshing book, Hightower argues that government, the media and corporate conglomerates have put us smack-dab in the middle of the mess we're in today....Leaving almost no contemporary issue unscathed, he lays bare the dirty politics behind the new global economy, exposing how these three institutions have undermined basic American values like justice, fairness, tolerance and opportunity; how they've steamrolled the common people, ignoring their needs; how they've created an oppressive and oppressing machine that keeps the downtrodden downtrodden....Author, radio commentator, public speaker and political sparkplug, Hightower doesn't gripe and whine, he offers commonsense solutions to controversial issues. In language everyone can understand, he tackles big issues and proposes strategies that are easy to implement. Calling on the poor and middleclass, the groups he claims represent a true populist majority, he shows how an already strong grassroots movement can be made even stronger. Arguing for change on the local level, Hightower demonstrates exactly how this can be accomplished.
No one in politics today can tell a story like Jim Hightower does, bringing home a hard-hitting message, yet keeping his audience doubled up with laughter. You may have heard one of his many speeches, frequently covered by C-SPAN, or you may have heard him weekdays on his nationally syndicated radio program, Hightower Radio: Live from the Chat & Chew. In the tradition of Mark Twain and Will Rogers, he skewers the powers-that-be in our country on behalf of what he calls the powers-that-ought-to-be - America's workaday majority. Now he's concentrated his political outrage and irreverent humor in this important book. Hightower whacks the conventional wisdom right upside the head, daring to point out that not only is class war raging across America, but it's being waged by the powerful and privileged against the middle class. The "ism" that we have to worry about is not socialism, he argues, but corporatism - a rising phenomenon that he documents here in detail, naming names. This book is rich in personal anecdotes and well-researched facts, and it's sprinkled throughout with Hightower's tell-it-like-it-is characterizations of the high-and-mighty.
