Hightower believes that the true political spectrum is not right to left but top to bottom, and he has become a leading national voice for the 80 percent of the public who no longer find themselves within shouting distance of the Washington and Wall Street powers at the top.

Hightower has recently been entertaining audiences with "Perry Tales" about presidential candidate, the Republican Governor Rick Perry of Texas. Hightower has a unique point-of-view. He was elected twice as Texas Agriculture Commissioner but lost his third election bid to newcomer Rick Perry.
