Thieves in High Places: They've Stolen Our Country and It's Time to Take It Back

by Jim Hightower · 2003

+ Want to read

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 Tour—a traveling festival of rebellion against every tentacle of the corporate-politico power grab—Hightower 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.
