From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
From Screwed:
"Once again, Thom Hartmann hits the bull’s eye with a much needed exposé of the so-called ‘free market.’ Anyone concerned about the future of our nation needs to read Screwed now."
From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
If they get anything from their efforts it would likely be a rise in minimum wage. Unions may be a stretch these days.
I hope they are successful, and form a union as well, I admire them for standing up, something many americans forgot to do the last 35 years.
Scott Pelly on CBS News tonight did a piece of the iron workers that worked on the new bridge in San Francisco. A 72 year old man went up on the bridge during construction and took photos. The bridge took 15 years to build and is earthquake proof and designed to last 150 years. It was appropriate that labor be shown in this light during Labor Day. Pretty awesome pix's. The retired labor worker said that people just took for granted these beautiful construction pieces and never give a thought to those who build them.
Good luck to them. Even if we are only individual grains of sand on sandpaper, we can provide enough friction to slow the slide of this country toward total corporatism.
