From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
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."
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."
your choices do not accurately reflect the question..which is why the vote is split 50/50..it is confusing
we SHOULD be able to afford to rebuild our own country
I think most people, if asked, resent rebuilding another country at the expense of our own. As the old saying goes "charity begins at home." Not that I consider rebuilding our infrastructure a charitable function, but you get the gist of what I'm saying here. First we take care of our own and then if we have extra, we extend charity or assistance to other countries. I do realize that our country is at fault for the destruction in Iraq to their infrastructure, but our country is also at fault for the sad disrepair our own has fallen into. So, again, first our own then others. If these war mongers want perpetual war, then let them pay for the rebuilding of these countries, not with our tax dollars. I'm speaking of course about the military industrial complex who is benefiting from the wars, much like big oil and gas profiting and not paying for the consequences of their actions. All the clean up is left to the tax payers of this country and we get no benefit from it.
We could afford it IF we end all wars & Cut foreign aid. IF we End all loopholes End subsides . If we had not wasted trillions in Iraq and on corp tax cuts . IF we had not bailed out crooked Wall St banks .to tune of trillions .with Zero interest loans Taxpayers paid 100 cents on dollar for Wall St worthless JUNK ! Truth will come out at some point. . Thank Hank Paulson for TARP scam If we make corps pay a bit more in taxes. IF IF IF
