From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom is a national treasure. Read him, embrace him, learn from him, and follow him as we all work for social change."
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."
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."
And put the crooks,and bankers in jail.
LOL. hey Thom, to be a "poll" there should be an actual "choice" here. This looks more like a political election where the voting is a mere formality and the choice has already been pre-determined.
Anyway, to the question. No, we've done nowhere near enough. The Dodd-Frank Act should have been just an opening salvo---and in all seriousness, it was a weak one at that. Just like we need real campaign finance reform, term limits, repelling "Citizens United" and ending gerrymandering, we need to make some serious changes in how we regulate Wallstreet, and corporations in general for that matter. Just saying.
Once again both statements are true. Whoever comes up with these polls should look up dichotomy.
