@Gene Savory, thank you for the title of the book. I cannot remember who has said it but here is what I remember. When a person is down, you make certain that he remains down. This is what the rich, the corporists, and the Supreme Court are doing to average Americans. A good study can be seen in Israel. The Israelis are keeping the Palestinians down and they will always keep them down. Since the United States of Hell is embedded with Israel, our federal government will practice Israeli rules. Average Americans will always be down. The Jackboots are stumping on our faces.

From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story."
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 Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
@iman2000_us, must be nice to stick your tongue out, and make funny faces at people who disagree with you. At least that's what I'd do behind a veil ;-)
