It's the middle class Stupid!

When I saw this book come across my desk here at the library I thought two things,  one: It's about time someone addresses the decline of  middle class America and two: I absolutely adore James Carville! How could I resist such a read?

Let me say that I was not disappointed in the least! Carville and Greenberg do an excellent job of covering the continuing destruction of the middle class in America. These fellows believe that while the elite(including dems) shy away from "class warfare" most average people understand(Let's hope anyway) that the rich started the war long ago, and that it is finally time to engage the battle! The issues that are raised in this book are critical for America's well being over the next few decades.

Both Carville and Greenberg are discombobulated(I love that word) by the "Rights" obliviousness to reality. They believe the middle class right clearly vote against their own interests by sending right-wing "reformers" to Washington. They also point out that the simple fact is unless the middle class(majority of the people) can afford to buy 'things', we'll never dig out of the hole that "THEY"(Government) put us in.

What I liked most about this book is that these two political strategists deliver the hard facts with very little if any embellishment(And we have seen so much of that these last few months from both sides) They give us hope that our best years are still ahead and that our children and grandchildren will be able to do better than we have!(Here's hoping)

At the end of the day whether you're Right, Left, Middle,(or alien) you should always remember it's the MIDDLE CLASS, not the big corporations and certainly not the billionaires that keeps America going yet we are the ones who are mostly ignored. So go out there and reclaim your American dream(Whatever that may be)
