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."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann channels the best of the American Founders with voice and pen. His deep attachment to a democratic civil society is just the medicine America needs."
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."
It's such a contrast to think of Franklin D. Roosevelt.. "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." then to John F. Kennedy, "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." Then to today... with presumptive Republican Donald J. Trump... It is a depressing mood that he sets for this country as far as having the standard for a presidential candidate has sunk to a new low. Astonishingly substandard; demeaning and just no where close to a pulse of any real character .. just a thought.
