Its every feature is under assault by politicians and the lobbyists who court them, big-business corporations that are sending their jobs overseas, and a media that relies on sensationalism instead of facts when reporting the news. CNN host and commentator Dobbs looks at every aspect of the decline of the middle class--from a lack of political representation to America's corrupt health-care system--to demonstrate how the gap between America's newest haves and have-nots is no longer merely financial, but instead includes the erosion of education, employment, government, and community. Dobbs proposes a series of measures to resolve each issue and incite people, whose future is being mortgaged to benefit a powerful few, to preserve their rights and dreams.--From publisher description. 521 1 $a Adult 650 0 $a Middle class $x Government policy $z United States. 650 0 $a Middle class $z United States $x Economic conditions. 650 0 $a Pressure groups $z United States. 650 0 $a Corporate power $z United States. 650 0 $a Elite (Social sciences) $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Economic policy $y 2001- 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 2001- 941 $a 15 952 $l GLAX641 $d 20231201010405.0 952 $l NOPA983 $d 20201013104737.0 952 $l MBPE423 $d 20201013045516.0 952 $l ULAX314 $d 20190926090615.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20190702013242.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20190129010647.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720022855.0 952 $l XPPC367 $d 20180106080021.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180103023604.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418054028.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160823074842.0 952 $l JLPF081 $d 20150213090106.0 952 $l CXPC586 $d 20150213025413.0 952 $l YZPB162 $d 20140610010359.0 952 $l HWAX074 $d 20140415020129.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=583336CC225711E2827BCFED6AFF544E 994 $a C0 $b IW8Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
