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."
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."
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."
i have a couple huge problims with this poll
A) there is no "NO"
B) stop talking about corparations as if there people "walmart" did not cut health coverage walmart is a company nothing more then a simple peice of paper thats it nothing more it is the CEO's that do this
for someone who always says corparations are not people and you want to push back on this idea so hard you like saying that walmart and other companies do things. everytime you say walmart did something your just humanizing them and it may not be in a good way but its still humanizing so please push back against this idea that a corparation can do harm it cant the people that running it are its time to start DEhumanizing those monsters
just like guns dont kill people people kill people same with companies
Good point, still need to change the laws that govern them, in a word, govern them so they'll behave.
While yelling at their bought and paid for elected representatives to cut social welfare, these billion dollar corporations are relying heavily on the very programs they want cut for their own employees who rely on them because they're not paid a living wage. I worked for Walmart for awhile, mostly after I started collecting SS insurance benefit payments, so I didn't rely on the job for income or health insurance, but I saw first hand how every year one benefit after another was cut for employees while corporate profits soared. It should not take a genius to put two and two together and link fewer employee benefits and lower wages to increased profits for the corporations. They are simply externalizing their costs to the taxpayer.
