@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:
"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."
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 channels the best of the American Founders with voice and pen. His deep attachment to a democratic civil society is just the medicine America needs."
@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 ;-)
