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:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
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."
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.
