I liked Lou Dobbs ideology—He too has concluded that neither the Democrats nor the Republicans are looking out for the interest of the large middle class. He encourages all to register as independents so we can force the major parties to address the real issues that make a difference in our lives.
He accuses both parties of thriving on divisive issues for which there will never be agreement and which limit discussion about the things that matter most. He contends that politics is controlled by special interests (there are more lobbyists than Congressional staff). He concludes that few decisions are made based on their long term impact on society but rather on their reelection value--satisfying constituents (pork), big business (tax policy), unions (tariffs) etc.
When will we ever get term limits enacted? What about elimination of conflicts of interest (we do this with judges and attorneys—not an off the wall ideal)? When will we conclude as a society, that our governing representatives need to be law abiding citizens (presidential perjury, congressional tax fraud, military torture, etc.)? We are beginning to reap what we have sown. It seems clear that our representatives have concluded that they are not bound by the law of the harvest.
I hope my cynicism is ill placed but I fear it is not

An excellent read. This book is fast-paced, and reads like a laundry list that never ends of how we are getting screwed over by our government's loyalties to their own parties and the special interests. This book lays it all out. I read this immediately after reading Ron Paul's The Revolution: A Manifesto. The two together are very powerful, and I feel that both certain seem to be fairly neutral, neither favoring one party over another.
I can assure you, after reading this book, the next time a politician says that they are there to helkp out the middle class, you'll be upset and yell at the TV "Oh yeah? If that's REALLY true, then why haven't you done anything about A, B, or C, and actually used D to make things WORSE for the middle class?!?!"
The only reason that I give this 4 stars is that it is in need of an update. It was written in 2006. It is mostly critical of the Bush administration because it was written during the Bush administration. Though there are accusations towards the Democrats, they are far far less often. This is not due to bias, but rather the material present - after all, the book had to be topical. However I do see how many liberals would see this as further proof that the Republicans do lots of bad things, while the Democrats rarely do. Nothing could be further from the truth. Lou needs to update this and add a chapter or two covering Obama's first term to balance things out. After all, Obama is still carrying forward many of the practices of the Bush administration that have been critiqued in this book.
An intelligent, open-minded reader aware of confirmation bias, however, can take the critiques towards Bush and apply them directly to Obama in areas where he carry's forth the same practices, or makes no attempt to resolve the past injustices.

As a conservative, I appreciate the way this book got me invested in certain causes I normally associate with Democrats. For one thing, Dobbs spends a lot of time castigating major corporations for their reckless business practices--something liberals are always wailing about--but Dobbs actually gives stats and factual evidence to show why his attacks are warranted. This isn't just a they-make-a-lot-of-money-so-they-must-be-evil approach to the topic. Instead of just saying that CEOs are paid too much, and then quoting some astronomical number, Dobbs shows how CEOs from various companies work together to get their salaries approved, regardless of performance. It's very much a you-scratch-my-back-and-I'll-scratch-yours kind of thing, which was never explained to me before. Before reading this book, I was willing to give CEOs the benefit of the doubt that they might actually be EARNING their outrageous salaries.
Dobbs also has a lot to say on such topics as outsourcing, lobbying, illegal immigration, and health care. The health care bits are where the book really shows its age (It was written nearly a decade ago). He criticizes both the Right and the Left for their handling of these issues, and it's refreshing to see a journalist in this day and age refusing to play partisan politics. Although a self-described liberal Republican, Dobbs is especially harsh in his treatment of George W. Bush, though I can't imagine he'd be any easier on Barak Obama had this book come out a few years later.
Dobbs is great at identifying major problems with the way America is being run, but I'm less convinced of the value of his proposed solutions. His idea for fixing the health care system sounds a little too much like Obamacare, and his idea for fixing public education uncomfortably resembles Common Core. However, Dobbs doesn't go into enough detail for me to know whether or not those national travesties accurately resemble the sort of thing he had in mind.
This is perhaps the only political book I've ever read that could resonate with both the Tea Party movement and the Occupy Wall Street crowd. If our divided country ever becomes once again united in purpose, I imagine it will be largely thanks to people like Lou Dobbs and books like WAR ON THE MIDDLE CLASS.

This book was written in 2006. I was not sure how pertinent it would be for today. It is a concise account how damaging different factors added to the decline of the middle class. Fascinating, logically true and worth understanding how this group in particular was ignored and needed change.

A book with a thoughtful premise and the intention of doing good, but which falls victim to its author’s bias and predisposed ideas. Dobbs clearly has a passion for the middle class and writes movingly and thoughtfully at times, but then lapse into culture war type battles such as spending time arguing against pc culture and other center right positions. Thought there are discussion to be had over the impacts of some of these topics, they serve no purpose here. One case in point, when discussing the impact of trade with China on American jobs, Dobbs spends wasted time on attacking pc culture by referring to and explaining why he calls it “Communist China”. In the end, whether we say China or add “Communist” in front of it makes no difference to the impacts of trade.
Sad because this book could have been so much more if not for these unnecessary non sequiturs.

Really good -- definitely teetered between 3 and 4 starts. It came down to that several chapters referenced *too* many numbers to back up facts and opinions. Although it's great and vital to have numerous facts to reference and back up points, too many numbers had me start zoning out. He could slimmed down paragraphs like those that referenced 10 different companies and their extreme profits to 2 or 3 companies/profits and expanded upon the outrageousness of 99% of the profit going to the top executives.

It's always interesting to read a pundit's book years later. I'll have to catch up with him and see what he thinks about the current administration.
I agree with a lot of what he says, but I think he oversimplifies the immigration issue. For instance - he makes no distinction between immigrants and refugees.

War on the Middle Class: How the Government, Big Business and Special Interest Groups Are Waging War on the American Dream and How to Fight Back by Lou Dobbs
"War on the Middle Class" is a candid account of what Lou Dobbs considers the war against the middle class. He goes through all the main issues with straightforward arguments in support of his position and closes the book with specific recommendations on how to combat them. This 288-page book is composed of the following twelve chapters: 1. War on the Middle Class, 2. Class Warfare, 3. The Best Government Money Can Buy, 4. The Politics of Deceit, 5. He Says, She Says, 6. The Exorbitant Cost of Free Trade, 7. Exporting America, 8. Broken Borders, 9. A Generation of Failure, 10. Health Care: It's Enough to Make You Sick, 11. The Best of Intentions, and 12. Taking Back America.
Positives:
1. A well-written, well researched, and as candid a book as you will find.
2. Mr. Dobbs has great mastery of the topic yet is able to use direct and accessible language to convey his points.
3. This is a surprisingly even-handed book. The author does not hold back and is very forthright in his comments. Even acknowledging personal mistakes which in my view give this book a lot of credibility. What he now acknowledges as an erroneous support for NAFTA as an example.
4. The ever increasing and dangerous impact of lobbyists.
5. The impact and threat of corporate elites to the principles of free markets and a democratic society. Many great examples of their impact.
6. The financial abuse of CEOs. An expose of sorts.
7. The truth about corporate taxes. Infuriating account.
8. The impact of special interests.
9. The conflict of interests between government employees and future careers as lobbyists. Eye-opening stuff. Many great examples.
10. Big Pharma and its lobby power.
11. The repeal of the "death" tax bill and its impact.
12. Social security and why Wall Street wants a piece of the pie.
13. Political perks...
14. Thought-provoking quotes backed by strong-supporting arguments. "I believe that free trade as defined and promoted by the Clinton and Bush administrations and by both Republicans and Democrats, are destroying America's manufacturing base and middle-class jobs, and is bankrupting the nation".
15. The ethics of media discussed. Interesting and insightful. "News should be based on facts, not titillation or voyeurism.
16. The negative impact of our free trade agreements. Very good stuff.
17. Why NAFTA failed? Excellent account. More than worth the price of the book!
18. The impact of outsourcing. Enlightening and upsetting.
19. Taxpayer privacy...another upsetting account.
20. The issue of illegal immigration and the factors involved.
21. The reality of our educational system. Another expose of sorts.
22. The importance of a national common bond.
23. The embarrassing state of health care and a look back at failed attempts.
24. An excellent chapter on how to "take back" America.
25. Great appendices: The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States.
26. Great notes section.
27. One of the best Kindle values out there!
Negatives:
1. No Kindle links.
2. A little dated since the book was published in 2006. Too little to be a concern.
3. With regards to illegal immigration the emphasis should be placed on illegal hiring practices versus going after the individuals. It's also more practical and more feasible economically than building a huge fence and having to protect it.
4. Having to wait and hope that Mr. Dobbs writes another book.
In summary, I highly recommend this book. It's one of the most straightforward unfiltered books I have read. Mr. Dobbs covers the appropriately named title of his book with expertise but not at the expense of being unintelligible. This is a very important topic and this book does it justice.
Further suggestions: "Screwed..." by Thom Hartman, "Perfectly Legal..." by David Cay Johnston, "Fifteen Biggest Lies about the Economy..." by Joshua Holland, and "The Looting of America..." by Les Leopold.

I really like Lou Dobbs--while I pretty much think CNN is useless, I do find his show to be pretty good. Great book. If you really want to know what's going on with regard to politics, business policy/practice, etc. in this country, read this.
He doesn't engage in name calling, mudslinging or any of that sort of stuff. He DOES provide facts to back up his claims and plenty of credible resources to back up his facts. Lest you think he's merely pandering to the Republican party, he begins the book by telling the reader that he can't take seriously anyone who takes either party (Republican or Democrat) seriously...because neither party takes YOU seriously. Lou is very honest about saying that he is a conservative and a registered Republican...then he goes on to bash many of the very policies that party backs.
My only complaint is that he does refer often to his show and, at times, it seems that he's trying to drum up viewers. This is the only reason I gave the book 4 instead of 5 stars.

The chapter on lobbying and lobbyists will make you angry and ready to incur violence against the government if you are like me.
The chapter on immigration, while it is obviously Dobbs' pet issue, will leave you scratching your head wondering where they come up with their hard-and-fast statistics on an undocumented group of people.
But most disappointing is the "How to fight back" part, the only memorable soultion being to change your voting registration to "Independent" so as to "send a message" to politicians. Lame. The rest of the "fighting back" solutions consisted of philosophical blabbity-blah which made it sound like Dobbs is considering a run for public office.
As this was written in 2005 or 2006, the relatively cheery description of the strength of the American economy and jobless numbers made me sad.
No more books from the Colbert Report for awhile!

I have two words describing the next president of the United States: Lou Dobbs. I definitely recommend this book! Why? Lou Dobbs points a clear finger to the problems the United States is facing. Outsourcing, lobbying, "free" trade deals, corruption, etc. This book kept me turning pages, because I knew that I couldn't miss out on any of this information. I loved this book! And Dobbs gives a pretty clear message: We need to oust the two main parties from office. That was one of the most developed messages I've ever read. He completely changed my stance on Free Trade from "We need it!" to "Protectionism is the way!". Personally, I think the nest generation, which is going to inherit one big mess, should use this book as a guide to lead the country. You will be fuming mad at those waging war on the middle class, when you are done reading this!

Good book to read around tax time.
I agree that we definitely need to fix our education system and maybe some of the other problems will also be solved. We have an education system developed for the industrial revolution. It is time to change it. How about where children learn at their own pace and they don't move on until they have mastered the subject? How about an education where children learn a topic they are naturally drawn to or curious?
Anyhow, this is a good book to read that is not full of dry statistics. Lou Dobbs points out our major deficiencies. Where are our government's conscience? This book will also make me criticize this year's candidates for presidency. Where is Kucinich?

Lou is host of the Lou Dobbs Tonight show on CNN TV. "News, Debate, Opinion." This book is a lot of opinion, or "statement of condition" as I call it, heavily based on fact of course. It's a very fast read. Lou broadly addresses topics such as corporate influence in government, corporate job outsourcing, "the cost of free trade", broken borders and the illegal immigration issue, poor quality public education, and spiraling costs of health care, to name a few. The book is rather oddly and loosely footnoted. There are no footnote numbers. You have to look up a page number in the Notes appendix to see if a fact you're interested in is referenced. Generally I agree with Lou, American Civilization currently needs a lot of work!
August 26, 2008
Lots of evidence of the outrages of our government, big corporations and lobbyists, but WEAK on what you can do about it. SPOILER ALERT-- He really did not have any good ideas for what individuals can do. What he says you can do is register as an independent, and demand that the government require health insurance, living wages, and everything else just short of a chicken in every pot and...
I guess he used to be a republican, but I can't support this book or his ideas because I don't htink the government can fix everything.

Lou Dobbs does a good job in identifying some of the causes of the "war on the middle class", but his solutions are way off. He wants higher taxes and bigger government to solve the problems caused by higher taxes and bigger government. Lou Dobbs' solutions are often short on practical application. After reading this book I gave a better appreciation for the Moderate point of view. It seems that moderates dont want to base government and law on a common moral and ethical base, but to pass laws that benefit man at the detriment of freedom.
June 14, 2010
Although written in 2006, the themes Lou Dobbs discusses are not out of date. On the contrary, the political battles are the very same and I enjoy Dobb's political voice. It's much more conservative than most journalists, but doesn't go so far as be a Republican love-fest either. The book was written while George W. Bush was in office and is highly critical of what Dobbs perceives as corruption on both sides of the aisle. I'm more likely to give credence to declaring war on both parties' culpability rather than follow an argument that labels a politician "idiot." It's never that simple.

Great book that really opens your eyes to what is going on in our society and economy today. This should be required reading for all people that work for a living in this country!! We must rein in the abuse of power U.S. corporations and special interest groups wield to the detriment of the U.S. middle-class. Also we need to demand our politicians work for all of us, not just for those ultra wealthy groups and individuals that "buy" them.

Reading this off and on, the last chapter (yes I skipped ahead and read the last chapter first...) was the best. THis is informative and I do have a better understanding of some things but I would like more citations about where he got the information that helped him form his opinion in the areas he addresses.
December 6, 2010
If you ever thought this guy's anger was wildly unfocused or misfocused while watching him on TV, wait until you try to read a book written by him. This guy knows a lot about what's wrong with this country, but I swear he doesn't seem to have even the most elementary understanding of political cause and effect, either in the present or in the past 30-40 years while we were getting here. Uggh.
June 6, 2016
I enjoyed this book. Dobbs seems quite solidly middle of the road, but he is clearly an independent thinker, with a lot of well-informed observations and some unique ideas. The book almost made me wish I had CNN so I could watch his show!
As an audiobook reader, the career broadcaster was simply without peer.

Just started reading this book. So far it's a little alarmist, but I do agree that we have become a consumerist society, paying CEO's and basketball players entirely too much. We'll see if he comes up with any real solutions.
August 7, 2008
This is a book that in my opinion every American citizen should read. It was written in2006 so there are a couple of things that are dated, and of course I didn't agree with everything that Lou Dobbs said, but I still think this is a very important book for all Americans to read.
October 14, 2008
"War on the Middle Class" by Lou Dobbs was a very insightful book. It opens your eyes about what is happening in our country as far as Corporations having control instead of our government, Middle class being taken advantage of and so many more issues we face in America.
November 20, 2008
I am not going to lie, I am a big fan of Mr. Dobbs and just about anyone who fights for the middle class for that matter. Once again, I do not need to write a review this book because the title says it all.
August 27, 2010
interesting in that he looks at the failure of both dems and republicans,however the book is short on real practical solutions. Unfortunately, i don't thing that there are any real practical solutions.

I had to read this book for a class and ended up enjoying it more than I thought. It was not dry at all, the author presented the information in an enjoyable way. The informaton included int he book was interesting also, I liekd how the author expressed his opinion.
May 6, 2011
Audio Book. Interesting to hear a liberal journalist say the same thing a conservative (Bill O'Reilly) said. That both parties are screwing up America. I can't say I disagreed but, I think both sensationalize things to get viewers.
January 17, 2016
I admire Dobbs, but I don't always agree with him. Since he is a self described Liberal Republican, that is easy to see why.
He says he is not an ideologue, and that may be true to an extent. However, he is an idealistic populist.

This book had a lot of information in it, albeit perhaps partially escued to Lou's thinking. Still very interesting yet a touch on the boring side.
