Liberal author and radio host Thom Hartmann argues that the authors of the U.S. Constitution envisioned a more egalitarian society than has traditionally been believed.

Thom Hartmann talks about "Screwed: The Undeclared War Against the Middle Class and What We Can Do About It."

Hartmann argues that the middle class is not the natural consequence of a free-market-based economy, but rather, the intended result of policies put into place to maximize the public good. He also argues the middle class is on its deathbed, evident by the number of people who put in a solid day's work and can no longer afford to buy a house, send their kids to college, or even get sick. Hartmann is also the author of "The Prophet's Way."

Thom Hartmann, who started in radio in 1968, is also an internationally known speaker on culture and communications, an author, and an innovator in the fields of psychiatry, ecology, and democracy. Hartmann is the award-winning, best-selling author of fourteen books currently in print in over a dozen languages on four continents.
