From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Hartmann combines a remarkable piece of historical research with a brilliant literary style to tell the grand story of corporate corruption and its consequences for society with the force and readability of a great novel."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"With the ever-growing influence of corporate CEOs and their right-wing allies in all aspects of American life, Hartmann’s work is more relevant than ever. Throughout his career, Hartmann has spoken compellingly about the value of people-centered democracy and the challenges that millions of ordinary Americans face today as a result of a dogma dedicated to putting profit above all else. This collection is a rousing call for Americans to work together and put people first again."
Yes. We're a nation of codependents with "Daddy issues" ... and just LOVE to be lied to. There's no other way to explain Fox News and Sarah Palin.
I say "no". We shall overcome!
The 1% have all the smallpox vaccine cornered...just in case.
But it's probably a moot point, since the climate is going to spin out of control sooner than most expect. At least the redneck deep south will get clobbered before it get us farther north. It's just God's way of saying how much he loves all you fundamentalist yahoos.
I think the Nov election will just decide how quickly we descend to serfdom; if one of the rethugs wins, it'll happen like a bullet through cheese.

No. We are waking up as a society to the injustices of our political and economic systems. This can indeed be seen by the Occupy Movements. We will fight for justice and equality rather then to become serfs and live in perpetual debt slavery. One way of defeating the banksters is to simply opt out. The system cannot run if we choose not to obey.
Once people have had a taste of freedom and a decent life, they will not willingly revert to serfdom. if necessary, people will start another civil war, although I pray that will not be necessary.
I voted yes but...The bottom will drop out for EVERYONE. It wont matter if you only have a single dollar or one billion of them...Our money is worthless and it's only going to get worse. "Maybe" then the playing field will become more even...The big question is:As a people will we learn from our mistakes? Will we realize that sollutions only work when we fully understand the problem? Will we lick our wonds and change our way of thinking so that people and planet last...realizing that sure it's okay to make alot of money, but to reward blood sucking and knowingly allow for such belligerent buisness practices and hostle foreign policies that continue to rob people of their lives is NOT exceptable
Will we allow corporations to rule over the voice of the people? We MUST end Corperate Personhood and NEVER FORGET & NEVER ALLOW GREED TO OVERCOME THE IMPORTANCE OF "WE THE PEOPLE..."
We the people need to call for a constitutional convention to amend and restore our constitution before they take the right to do so away. Article V in the constitution says if 2/3 states agree congress must act on our behalf to demand a constitutional convention. An attorney in Florida has started a petition. Sign and share it, he has a book about it but you don't have to buy anything to sign the petition. I believe this will give us a platform to start the dialogue we need to fix the damage that has been done to our freedoms.
