President Obama has declared our times as a “make-or-break moment for the middle class,” and veteran political strategists James Carville and Stan Greenberg couldn’t agree more.

Listen as they discuss their new book, It’s the Middle Class, Stupid! and make the case that taking on the wealthy is not class warfare, it’s a matter of survival.

Do you agree? Over on our Facebook page, we're taking questions for James Carville and Stan Greenberg. Join the conversation.
