From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
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."
Thom, if you want to make an analogy with a new industry eliminating jobs from an old industry, forget buggy whips and mention whaling. Whalers lost their jobs as petroleum became the new source of energy. That's right, the petroleum industry originally cost some people their jobs. It's a more direct point of argument when you are on the subject of the green-energy economy.
