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:
"With the ever-growing influence of corporate CEOs and their right-wing allies in all aspects of American life, Hartmann’s work is more relevant than ever. Throughout his career, Hartmann has spoken compellingly about the value of people-centered democracy and the challenges that millions of ordinary Americans face today as a result of a dogma dedicated to putting profit above all else. This collection is a rousing call for Americans to work together and put people first again."
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."
It's nice to have a politician like Bernie that one wants to vote for instead of the lesser of two evil Feel the Bern
Move to the center? The D Party has moved to the center and then to the right of it at least since Reagan. Then the "new" Democrat, Bill Clinton comes along and was nice enough to repeal Glass Steagall for Wall Street and signed NAFTA which enriched corporations and the banks at the expense of working people. THIS IS THE PROBLEM with the D Party....it has been dominated by the corporate Democrats for too long. The D Party now is nothing more than a corporate owned organization....just look at how they circle the wagons around Hillary Clinton..its been disgusting to watch and then they wonder why Dems don't show up on Election Day...they abandoned the FDR Progressive new deal for the money and power of corporations and banks. GO BERNIE !!!!!
Hillary is 100% REPUBLICAN! The reason why she CHANGED her Party is because she could NEVER MOVE UP within the Republican Party as she has within the Democratic Party!
Hillary is a STRAIGHT UP REPUBLICAN, and she and Bill have PROVEN that with their NAFTA BILL, and Killing the Glass Steagal Act!
SCREW THE CLINTON'S SEND THEM TO WHERE THEY BELONG, WITH THEIR REPUBLICAN PARTY!

From listening to the debate, I honestly feel Senator Sanders is not only a progressive but a true gentleman. This is what the country needs. Ms. Clinton, well, I was taught if you can't say something nice, don't say anything. So, I'll leave it at that.
Move to center, you say? Whatever for??? Why would I want to be a Republican? I was one, then I started precinct work and found I could not peddle a Republican in working and poor class neighborhoods. That switched me to being a Demo and I've been happy ever since. Also, I'm a conservationist first which cannot be supported in our present T-party republicans who view wildlife something to shoot....Palin in point. And Sarah wants to be Interior Sec in The Donald's cabinet??? heaven forbid, hope that doesn't come to pass. NO NO NO....when Demos become centrists then it's time for me to become an Independent.
A for Bernie, I view him as being more akin to Gve 'em Hell, Truman. I don't know of another president who subpoenaed Congress to return to Congress to pass a budget plus a few other things during an election year. I lived through FDR;s and Truman's presidencies. Truman was the firebrand. That's who Bernie brings to mind. I don't think FDR would have had the guts to fire Gen MacArthur....the best thing Truman ever did besides issuing subpoenas to Congress.
