From Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Hartmann combines a remarkable piece of historical research with a brilliant literary style to tell the grand story of corporate corruption and its consequences for society with the force and readability of a great novel."
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."
Mainly I voted YES because I want to promote that answer to get it to happen. If things just stay the same, of course it will be NO!
Right now I have no faith in our election process at all. There is so much election disenfranchisement going on and so much Corporate money going into TV advertising that will lie and obfuscate, that I see no chance for us to get people in government who will work for the changes we need. Several days ago I spent a chunk of my time filing out a questionnaire to start a campaign to have an election over the internet. The thing is, even if we could get most people who vote to participate, it still won't work because we still have to cast our votes within the current system, which is so rigged!
I just hope I am wrong!
I voted no..because I don't think they will be punished...but I wish they would be!
they have broken the trust of our people
I think banksters will be prosecuted only if President Obama is re-elected. The chances of a republican president jailing them is ZERO.
Will the "progressive" arrests and prosecutions begin with Robert Rubin and Lawrence Summers, the corporate party Democrats' financial gurus who engineered the removal of the wall between banking and unlimited theft that Bill Clinton signed into law — the biggest pump and dump gangster fraud in history? Will the "progressives" prosecute Clinton for that, and for his war crimes too?
After jailing or hanging Rubin, Summers, Clinton and lots more Democrats, and proceeding on though the prosecutions of the Cheney/Bush Regime that the Democrat majority wouldn't do when they could have, will the "progressives" then MoveOn to prosecute Obama for his protecting and rewarding the corporate criminals who provided his POTUS installation, and for Obama's war crimes that the "progressive" perpetual war party vote relabeled "necessary" and "humanitarian" crimes?
There's nothing more disingenuous than the corporate party (D) dedicated "progressive" liberals are.

www.factcheck.org www.politifact.com Read Andrew Bacevich Former Colonel who's son died in Iraq . He tells real story of US military power structure / Bush admin / Generals who wage wars / US massive war machine that makes billions off death & suffering . Iraq war was a GIFT to AL Quada / Bin laden Making more enemies than ever . Thank Bush Cheney Rice and Rummy
Why did they get to walk away Unscathed dumping and blaming all on Obama ? Justice has not been served Goldman rules Wall ST-why do they get a pass ? This is where our rage & distrust comes from We see crime / fraud pay handsomely again and again..
Agreed and Greenspan was one of the worst Pushed hard for Free not fair markets and trade and Letting markets 'take care of things ' Well they did and they led US to disaster / global crash / depression / 700 billion TARP scam Lies about Iraq
Voters made it all possible Gullible uninformed lazy too busy clueless whatever the case
They will not be prosecuted unless they do something stupid. But they have lawyers to fix their "mistakes". God bless the occupy protesters. Wish this 68 year old Vietnam Era Veteran could walk with them.
I selected no, but I don't know what a BANSTER is. LOL
Your kidding aren't you?
Why do you think they call it the CRIMINAL justice system?
Because "justice" here is CRIMINAL!
There are two kinds of "justice" in America, one for us, the "criminal" type, and another for the rich and big corporations, the "Justice" type.Smoke a bit of dried herb and your sent to prison, cheat millions of people out of billions of dollars and you go free to continue your "work".
There is NO "justice" in America!
The "vote" has been taken from us, we have no "real" vote. Our "vote" is a sham done on corporate controlled "voting" machines that is changed without our permision, "counted" by corporate controlled scanners so our "vote" comes out the way the oligarchs want..
To make sure they get what they want, they also choose the candidates, all corporate puppets who do not represent the working people. Pay not attention to what they say when running for office, they will say what you want to hear, instead, see how they have voted, see what actions they support. Talk is cheap and Obama talked about "hope and change" but that's not what we got, we got instead another Bush and more endless, illegal wars and occupations and more money shifted to the rich and big corporations.
MONEY is what has the real voice in America, them that got's the money has the ear of "our" representatives, we are mere "taxpayers" and cannon fodder for their endless, illegal wars for oil and other resources.
If you really think that your vote can change policy, I have some ocean front property to sell you cheap in Arizona.
I voted yet but then I'm the eternal optimist. Sooner or later they will cave and convict at least one of the bad guys.
A bankster is a play on words meaning bankers who are gangsters, get it?
I had a thought not long ago about Unions representing the workers. Celebrities have agents to represent them. The wealthy can afford lawyers to represent them and politicians have campaign managers to work with and speak for them. We The People have only the Unions because the media, who are supposed to be the voice of the people and our elected representatives who are supposed to be the voice of those who elected them seem to have disappeared. Only thing left to us are the unions, which is why they want to get rid of them.
Exactly right Last hope for average folks
I honor your optimism I have lost mine
i think jail will be the least of their worries mate.
