520    Millions of Americans lack health care and millions more 
       struggle to afford it. Wages have been stagnant for thirty
       years, even as corporate profits skyrocket. Politicians 
       say they want to fix the problem and then pass bills 
       written by lobbyists that drive wages even lower and 
       punish those crushed by debt. Jobs are shipped overseas, 
       pensions are cut, and energy is becoming unaffordable. 
       Sirota, a major new voice in American politics, seeks to 
       open the eyes of ordinary Americans to the fact that 
       corporate interests have undermined democracy, aided and 
       abetted by their lackeys in our allegedly representative 
       government. At a time when more and more of America's 
       major political leaders are being investigated for 
       corruption, Sirota shows how all of this nefarious 
       behavior happened right under our noses--and how the high-
       profile scandals are merely one product of a political 
       system and debate wholly owned by Big Money interests.--
