From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom is a national treasure. Read him, embrace him, learn from him, and follow him as we all work for social change."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
Being under-employed is just as bad as being unemployed. The GOP are masters of keeping the 98% in both conditions and them wants to blame them for not "wanting" to work. I don't see the Walton's working all that hard, and yet they pull down millions per month in welfare from the very people they want to accuse of being shiftless losers. Just because the media is not reporting truth does not necessarily mean the public isn't aware of what the truth about their condition really is.
Yes, and it's a great talking point for progressive candidates. If there are enough people helping to get out the vote, there could be some changes, despite GOP manipulation. Typically mid-term elections have a low voter turnout. Let's hope enough Republicans are disgusted enough with their party nut cases that even gerrymandering won't be a big factor.
