From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"In an age rife with media-inspired confusion and political cowardice, we yearn for a decent, caring, deeply human soul whose grasp of the problems confronting us provides a light by which we can make our way through the quagmire of lies, distortions, pandering, and hollow self-puffery that strips the American Dream of its promise. How lucky we are, then, to have access to the wit, wisdom, and willingness of Thom Hartmann, who shares with us here that very light, grown out of his own life experience."
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.
