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."
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:
"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."
When the hell are the people in this country going to get up and take back the country from corporate powers? Seriously, this is the time! The people of the Middle East and North Africa have set a pretty good example for us, yet few are taking action. We need to rise up NOW while our government is proclaiming that killing peaceful protesters is unacceptable. Have people forgotten about the real history of this country, how people have been SLAUGHTERED because of corporate control of the government? Hasn't anyone read the history of We The People who have been fighting elitists since before the signing of the Constitution? Let's start taking to the streets, march on the Capitol and deliver our List of Grievances which includes the end of corporate power and the obliteration on Monopolies (just for starters). Capitalism perpetuates poverty, and the corporation greatly exploits this. Revolution NOW people! This is the time.
P.S. A great study guide to learn about the rise of corporate power and the control of the elitist class can be found at the Women's International League For Peace and Freedom: http://www.wilpf.org/CPOWER_10sessions
You'll be amazed and outraged! Maybe you'll finally DO something about it!
Rural Activists; Believe me, I share your anger with what is taking place in this Country right now, but the time to have been angry was last November! We have a Constitution, even though it it hard to recognize, this contract is so we do not have to act like the people of Libya or Egypt ect ect. Maybe this is exactly what the people of this Country needs to open their eyes in 2012! Maybe after a couple of years of being ruled over by a tyranny we will show up at the voting booths.
so I see Thom is avoiding my challenge of last night. Thom if your a true progressive prove why backing the democrats will help us when it hasn't in the last 1/3 of a century Thom debate some one like Ralph Nadar maybe you won't because your afraid to. Please prove me wrong. By the way Thom even though I am a fan I do not intend to stop egging you on till you either come up with a truely loggical reason to back these Bennidect Arnolds like Clinton a man who entered the presidentcy with less then $1,000,000.00 and within less then 8 years of leaving office was worth more then $100,000,000.00. I hope your reason for staying with these political spousal abuser is because you are some sort of victom of political spousal abuse and not because your hoping to accomplish what good old boy Bill did on a smaller scale.I f this is your reason progressives are truely in alot of trouble. You brought this sinicism on yourself by being condencending to all us progressives that have challenged you on your support of these democRATS. If you truely beleave in your support for these lying pigs you would being a better answers then your tried and failed approach of taking over this corrupt party.
Hobbies, First of all, please use spell check, Second, where do you get Clinton's net worth? He is worth about $35~$38m depending on where you get your information, Nothing spectacular in this day and age. Think in terms of sports or entertainment personalities. I am speaking for myself, no one else. I don't get where you are coming from. I ilke Bernie Sanders, who do you like? What do you think of Republicans? Surely Decomrats aren't the only rats in the trap. I support Democrats, with varying degrees of enthusiasm. I can't support any Republicans, especially the newer Tea Party types. Like it or not, we have a choice of two parties with a chance of winning public office. Neither perfect, both corrupt to varying degrees. Ralph Nader is not a viable option, Debate him for what practical purpose? Who provides the best foundation to build on? For the average person, the Democratic party is built on the bedrock of Social Security, Medicare, worker's and civil rights. The Republicans are built on a foundation of quicksand. Hop on with them and you are going down fast.
