From Screwed:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
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."
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."
Thom is completely wrong about the Civil War. When it broke out the US was pro slavery. Prior to 1863 slavery was not an issue. And after the war was over slave auctions persisted in Baltimore and NYC. Robert E. Lee freed more slaves than Lincoln. Prior to the war free black men could vote in the South, but not the North.
The war was fought to extend the banker control of the North into the South. The good guys lost this war, but not for lack of valor; the North had a torrent of immigrants to pour into the meat grinder. From Lighthorse Harry to Robert, the Lees were a family of heroes deserving veneration, not vilification.
