It's Article VI of the Constitution that says "no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."

The Establishment Clause is the part of the 1st Amendment that says "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion".

Wow, that's probably the least anyone has ever had to do to get a guest to hang up on them.

I think Thom's analogy between prohibition and Bain Capital is backward. Bain is a problem because its activities were made legal, whereas moonshining arose because liquor was made illegal.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:

"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."

—John Perkins, author of the New York Times bestselling book Confessions of an Economic Hit Man

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:

"Never one to shy away from the truth, Thom Hartmann’s collected works are inspiring, wise, and compelling. His work lights the way to a better America."

—Van Jones, cofounder of RebuildTheDream.com and author of The Green Collar Economy

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."

—Eric Utne, Founder, Utne magazine
