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:
"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."
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."
This caller Chris is confused. He thinks stuff's so screwed up because nobody pays attention, but he thinks it'll be solved by getting government out of the way so that the problems will be so bad that people will have to pay attention. But then how will people solve the problems? He wants to worsen the problems and remove the means to solve them.
