Publisher Comments:
In Thieves in High Places, Jim Hightower takes on the Kleptocrats, Wobblycrats, and Bushites with hilarious results. Digging up behind-the-scenes dirt on stories the corporate news media overlooks (and don't get him started on them!), Hightower reveals the real stories behind BushCo's "Friday Night Massacres," what's happened to our food, and the Bush plan for empire.
With grassroots solutions, drawing on Hightower's national Rolling Thunder Down- Home Democracy Toura traveling festival of rebellion against every tentacle of the corporate-politico power grabHightower is tapping into the activist network that is thriving at kitchen tables all over America. This is the real America the rest of the world doesn't get to see, delivered with Hightower's own hilarious brand of wit and outrage.
Book News Annotation:
Not just those in high government, but also corporate CEOs,
think-tank pundits, movies stars and directors, and glossy-haired
televangelists and news anchors, are telling Americans to grab
everything they can get their hands on and protect it behind high
walls, says Texan social critic Hightower, but Americans are not
thieves and should reclaim not only the government, economy, and all,
but the American ethic as well. He remains as humorous as always.
