In his latest book, "Screwed: The Undeclared War Against the Middle Class and What We Can Do About It," Air America Radio host Thom Hartman writes that the American middle class has been systematically dismantled over the past 25 years and has been replaced by a system to line the pockets of the super-rich and big corporations. The author details the ways in which safety nets for working people (progressive taxation, antitrust legislation and Social Security) have been weakened and argues that an empowered, educated middle class is crucial to a functioning democracy. Hartman presents suggestions for re-creating a prospering middle class and keeping America strong.
