From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
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 The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann seeks out interesting subjects from such disparate outposts of curiosity that you have to wonder whether or not he uncovered them or they selected him."
100 million people who are elegible to vote did not partake in this last election. We need to talking about how to get more people involved, because not voting is a vote for the winning candidate.
I suggest the following:
TAX BREAKS FOR VOTING!!!! I want a law passed that provides a tax breaks for registered voters, when we file our taxes. Meaning every year I am registered I get some kind of tax break, and when I vote there is an additional tax break. People would demand that poles are not closed, moved, or messed with. Also every person would be checking to make sure their names are still on the county's voter registration rolls. This would benefit everyone, republicans, democrats, and independents too. We also need to abolish the electoral college.
