From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
—Eric Utne, Founder, Utne magazine
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."
—David C. Korten, author of When Corporations Rule the World and Agenda for A New Economy
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."
—Richard Trumka, President, AFL-CIO

What a shame. Hopefully the electorate will kick the bad guys out, but i think Americans are stupid. If someone is part of the 99%, why the hell would they vote for a Repulsican ??? That's why are country is hurting, because people dont vote or vote for the person who is not going to help them.
The problem is that the voters can't kick the "do nothing" members out of office. Elections are staggard, and besides, there would be no one left.
The totality of our lack luster society is that the average citizen doesn't have time to pay and heed to the overall political arena of today. They are either too consumed with their work and family responsibilities and just are totally disenchanted with the endless negative media coverage (FOX NEWS) resulting with many of them not even taking the opportunity to vote. I have come to the realization that 1% has infiltrated the media with a host of lies and deception and absolutely has to be dealt with, and that being my ultimate goal of the supreme courts ruling on Citizens United ruling.
I refrain from voting on this.
We need to stop voting for both corporate controlled parties. Yes, the Dems are better than the Republicans but neither are not representing working Americans.
