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 The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Never one to shy away from the truth, Thom Hartmann’s collected works are inspiring, wise, and compelling. His work lights the way to a better America."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
There's plenty of room for internet entrepreurs yet, and may be 1 way of the future.
The right has a way of shooting itself in the foot ...take money out of the hands of the middle class or leave too many in poverty and no one will be shopping. Sooner or later they will hit a downturn that will force even the republicans to act for the people. Since they have not learned from our history...they will likely be forced to repeat it.
On a side note: In support of higher taxes for the wealthy: I believe it was Socates, when asked why he did not leave the country/accept banishment when sentenced to death, who said one owes something to the country that clothes him/her, fed him/her, educated him/her and basically gave him/her opportunity.
They better hurry. The environment is failing and tar sands are on the way.
The right-wing in this country is abominable. Their support of the 1% against the 99% is atrocious. They must be defeated.
Successful entrepreneurialism more often than not dislocates wealth associated with an obsolete, competing, or similar good or service. And keeping the wealth in its present hands is what our current “democracy” of special interests is all about. Consequently American “ingenuity” is in reality mostly a thing of the past or restricted to the hands of existing Oligarchs – who will squelch the innovations true potential to conform with existing investment (or othewise profit concerns) in the alternative. Entrepreneurialism has pretty much gone the way of the American Dream - of which it was a part - and the Country is suffering because of it. Thanks for nothing 1%.
