From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Through compelling personal stories, Hartmann presents a dramatic and deeply disturbing picture of humans as a profoundly troubled species. Hope lies in his inspiring vision of our enormous unrealized potential and his description of the path to its realization."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story."
The Republicans (who claim to be Christians) would do well to remember Luke 21 1-4.
"As Jesus looked up, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury. 2 He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. 3 'Truly I tell you,' he said, 'this poor widow has put in more than all the others. 4 All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.' "
Thank you. I had forgotten that one.
Money is the Republican God! Raising taxes on the wealthy will not mean much until the corrupt system loopholes are closed, starting with secret meetings between OBOMBA and BONER. DC sold its soul to the highest bidders a long time ago. A viable 3rd party is desperately needed to restore balance to the out of control establishment. It's a sick country when more than half the fed budget goes to the military/industrial complex while more carnage is done by cutting social programs and denying healthcare for more profit than any terrorist attack can cause.
