Plutocracy, Globaloney, Populism And Democracy with Jim Hightower

MP3 Download

A no-holds barred, inciting and inspiring dialogue unfolds with America's most popular populist. Recorded in the valley below Jefferson's Monticello near Charlottesville, VA, Jim Hightower wails with wit and wisdom, as he rips the Democrans and Republicrats and charges the corporate beast full on. He speaks of a government dominated by monied interests and driven by greed. Recovery of the vision and values that launched this nation and lots of downhome democracy are the antidote according to Hightower. (hosted by Michael Toms)
