From Screwed:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
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 Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
Trump and Fox news claim all DarkSkin people are poor,living in slums and on welfare.Well my daughter is white and her husband 1/4 Mexican .They had an opportunity to purchase a home in Prince George County ,Maryland ....in one of the wealthiest Black communities in the United States! They are the minority !!!!!!(Her family was living in DC but could not afford a home there,all the rich lobbyist and investors are buying up everything!!Kicking out the middle class and poor )Since the purchase ,her home has increased in value. Its a great neighborhood and have get together's.Our family does not see color,we see people! My granddaughter is 1/8 Mexican. I have known my son-in-law since he was in 5TH grade and works in the DC area. He is very successful.My son goes to George Washington University......When you see him with his friends there and friends at home its like a rainbow........they all have different ethnicities.
My husband and I have black friends and always worked with Dark Skin people.Racial profiling has never stopped.....our friends and coworkers are consistently stopped due to their color.We live outside the Chicagoland area.
One last thought.....My father was 100% German,he did not become a citizen till he entered the Army in WWII.HE fought against his own People(even family) and was awarded the Bronze Star and Purple Heart.He fought in Korea and was a Master Sergeant during Vietnam.He married my mother who is Jewish in 1957.
Trump and all Republicans who support him want to stop people with certain ethnic backgrounds or religion from entering our country .My father did not fight for such discrimination!
