The book

Both parties are bought. You know it, I know it, and everybody riding in the back of my cab knows it. I'm Alexander Heidenreich — I drive a taxi in Springfield, Missouri, and for years I've listened to Republicans, Democrats, and folks who quit on both say the same thing: the system is rigged, and nobody in Washington works for people like us.

Independent Mindset is my answer. This book follows the money — the lobbyists, the super PACs, the dark-money networks, the billionaires writing checks to both sides — and shows how the two-party machine locks independents out while it cashes in. I hold Republicans and Democrats to the same standard: what did you promise working people, and what did you deliver?

Then I lay out the playbook for taking our country back — lawfully, peacefully, and for good. If you're one of the 99 percent and you're done being played, this book is for you. Read it. Check the facts. Think for yourself.

About the author

Alexander J.S. Heidenreich drives a taxi in Springfield, Missouri. For years, from the driver's seat, he has listened to Republicans, Democrats, and folks who quit on both say the same thing: the system is rigged, and nobody in Washington works for people like us. Independent Mindset is his answer — political non-fiction that follows the money and lays out the playbook for the 99%.
