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 The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"With the ever-growing influence of corporate CEOs and their right-wing allies in all aspects of American life, Hartmann’s work is more relevant than ever. Throughout his career, Hartmann has spoken compellingly about the value of people-centered democracy and the challenges that millions of ordinary Americans face today as a result of a dogma dedicated to putting profit above all else. This collection is a rousing call for Americans to work together and put people first again."
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."
Perhaps Democratic politicians should put a disclaimer in their ads of some organizations that are not sponsoring them... ie: "This ad was not paid for by an oil company or any of their made up subsidiaries!" or "This ad was not paid for by a homophobic group" etc, etc... Would there be anything illegal about that? I don't think so, they can always add their usual disclaimer of who did pay after that anyway.
