From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
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 Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story."
Because half the US Voters have been convinced that because they want lower taxes, the supra-rich should get tax-breaks and it may trickle down on them.
How can you argue with that? it's just logical -- and besides, Obama's a Moslem Socialist Librul out to destroy what's good with Amerika.
I continue to be astounded that American's still buy into the trickle down theory since it's not worked for 30 years. In fact, just the opposite has occurred. The fact is that ever since this ideology was introduced and enacted by the Regan Adminstration, we've seen an erosion of the middle class.
For instance, the GOP voted against a small business tax while accusing the Obama Administration of being against small business and wanting to raise their taxes? This is pure hypocisy. If people are able to, they should watch these people in action on C-Span and see what they say and how they vote. Most newspapers, for those who bother to read them, report on how your elected representatives vote on issues each week. My local paper does this in the Sunday edition, or you can go to your representatives website and look up their positions on issues. Better yet, sign up for their newsletters, although I've signed up for both Senators for my state and have yet to receive one, only from my Congressman on a weekly basis.
What? and cut their pay? Their dividends? Their tax loopholes? Don't forget...80% of our politicians are millionaires!! We need to get people who do not have a vested interest and arms length connections to gov't officials.
What do we expect after 30+ years of trickle down economics? Think about it. Anyone 40 and under has literally grown up with that philosophy and the belief that the uber rich are the "job creators". As Anne Romney said morning on Good Morning America " you people have been given enough information"
