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 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:
"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."
To be honest, it is very hard to listen to debates like the obnoxious character, Tony Katz, you had on a 2:15 PST. Apparently this guys whole purpose in life is to argue against any logic. We tend to want to find a counter to every side of each argument, creating the "false center". It would be better to talk to 97 people that represent one side (the side of logic and clarity) and then the 3 that are wingnuts like this guy. To be fair, I am not against people having other opinions, but I do resent those that seem incapable of rational thought!
