Question: If "Bernie" has "sparked a political revolution," what is it a revolution about? He formerly spoke out quite strongly about our poverty crisis, and the reality that it's impossible to address this without also addressing poverty relief. The fact that he then jumped on the Middle Class Only bandwagon indicates his belief that our corporate state works so well, that everyone is able to work, and there are jobs for all. In other words -- more calls for trickle-down economics.
"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 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 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."
—Peter Coyote, Actor and author of Sleeping Where I Fall
The media will try to skunk Bernie, they are already trying to do it, and he wont fall for it.
Regardless, anyone who wants to run for president on the Dem ticket will need to challenge VP Joe Biden for the nomination.
