Mueller's favorite place to pray (written about in "Prophet's Way"), and the roof of the room where the Last Supper is reputed to have happened.
From Screwed:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
From Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
There's plenty of room for internet entrepreurs yet, and may be 1 way of the future.
The right has a way of shooting itself in the foot ...take money out of the hands of the middle class or leave too many in poverty and no one will be shopping. Sooner or later they will hit a downturn that will force even the republicans to act for the people. Since they have not learned from our history...they will likely be forced to repeat it.
On a side note: In support of higher taxes for the wealthy: I believe it was Socates, when asked why he did not leave the country/accept banishment when sentenced to death, who said one owes something to the country that clothes him/her, fed him/her, educated him/her and basically gave him/her opportunity.
They better hurry. The environment is failing and tar sands are on the way.
The right-wing in this country is abominable. Their support of the 1% against the 99% is atrocious. They must be defeated.
Successful entrepreneurialism more often than not dislocates wealth associated with an obsolete, competing, or similar good or service. And keeping the wealth in its present hands is what our current “democracy” of special interests is all about. Consequently American “ingenuity” is in reality mostly a thing of the past or restricted to the hands of existing Oligarchs – who will squelch the innovations true potential to conform with existing investment (or othewise profit concerns) in the alternative. Entrepreneurialism has pretty much gone the way of the American Dream - of which it was a part - and the Country is suffering because of it. Thanks for nothing 1%.
