From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
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 Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
Steve Maley was lying his pasty white backside off.
The 93% of American drillers that are ‘independents’ are individual separate corporate entities created specifically to run single sites or wells in an effort mitigate potential losses due to environmental or liability issues. The lie lays in . . . WHAT CORPORATE ENTITIES OWNS THOSE ‘independents’?
He was arguing that oil industry corporations deserve guaranteed profits no matter what happens in the universe AND a perpetual happy-ending hand-out from the government. This is WAY worse than just plain old corporate welfare.
