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."
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 The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann channels the best of the American Founders with voice and pen. His deep attachment to a democratic civil society is just the medicine America needs."
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"
