Too many of those WWII people are stuck in the days of communism and don't have a clue what it is to share the load in society. They don't know that a comrad is not comradery where we work together for a better America lifting up those who need it to enjoy being American. A carpool is using the benefits of more than one. Group life insurance is allowing a group to pool monies to pay great debts. They push off paying taxes like it's a bad thing until they get the benefits of it, but don't let a poor or disabled person get it.

Absolutely, And Citizens United must be overturned. Corporations are not human. The energy sector should, if not nationaized, then at least must be regulated more incluidng requirements industry specific cleanups. Finally, in the absense of real campaign finance reform, term limits. Electing third party candidates and Indies would be great too!

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."
Michael Toms, Founding President, New Dimensions World Broadcasting Network and author of A Time For Choices: Deep Dialogues for Deep Democracy
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
Paul Hawken, coauthor of Natural Capitalism and author of The Ecology of Commerce
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann seeks out interesting subjects from such disparate outposts of curiosity that you have to wonder whether or not he uncovered them or they selected him."
