Jim Hightower is an American original who burst on the national scene twenty years ago from the unlikely launching pad of Texas agricultural commissioner, an obscure (but powerful) office to which he was elected for two terms.

Ever since the deregulation of banks and utilities began in the 70-80's, the rich are getting richer. We need to come up with an election system that doesn't make candidates depend on corporate money; which is what sways the legislators and makes them obligated to them. Politicians have a hard enough time with issues, they don't need to work on 'buying votes'. We need to reform campaign financing.

Typical Hightower: homespun, acerbic with a touch of southern hospitality, and relentlessly optimistic about the rest of the country (outside Washington), convinced that they by and large agree with him on most things.
