    About this audiobook

    It's the Middle Class, Stupid! confirms what we have all suspected: Washington and Wall Street have really screwed things up for the average American. Work has been devalued. Education costs are out of sight. Effort and ambition have never been so scantily rewarded. Political guru James Carville and pollster extraordinaire Stan Greenberg argue that our political parties must admit their failures and the electorate must reclaim its voice, because taking on the wealthy and the privileged is not class warfare -- it is a matter of survival. Told in the alternating voices of these two top political strategists, It's the Middle Class, Stupid! provides eye-opening and provocative arguments on where our government -- including the White House -- has gone wrong, and what voters can do about it.

    Controversial and outspoken, authoritative and shrewd, It's the Middle Class, Stupid! is destined to make waves during the 2012 presidential campaign, and will set the agenda for legislative battles and political dust-ups during the next administration.

      I'm so glad a writing professor fifteen years ago made me read "Bird by Bird," because from the first page, I became a Lamott fangirl. Her writing alone is so clear, but as an added bonus, the content is inspiring and instructive. No matter where you fall on any faith spectrum, her approach to faith is accessible and non-confrontational. Love her. Loved this book. Some great insights--I know that when I read Lamott I need a pencil in hand, because I'm going to be underlining and writing notes in the margins. This was no different.

      I enjoyed it, but not her best effort.
