As the author states, "Nobody who works hard should be poor in America." It's true. Most jobs are low-paying with nowhere to go. The rate of job raises has not kept pace with the rate of inflation. Many Americans are saddled with bills, student loans, and choices (i.e. should I buy groceries or pay my heating bill?) that they shouldn't be making. Meanwhile, CEOs who stay on the job less than a year are getting payouts in the millions. This book will open your eyes to what's going on.
