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 The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann channels the best of the American Founders with voice and pen. His deep attachment to a democratic civil society is just the medicine America needs."
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."
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!
