Oct. 11, 2016 1:53 pmBy Thom Hartmann A... The billionaire class in America sees the world very differently from our Founding Fathers.
In fact, they're actually working to dismantle the very government that our Founders established.
And the perfect example of this is an on-going fight in Tennessee, led by Republican Governor Bill Haslam.White Men Don't Want Trump To Go After White Women

Oct. 6, 2016 3:04 pmBy Thom Hartmann A... Florida Governor Rick Scott has been busy warning millions of people for days now to evacuate their homes, with good reason.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"In an age rife with media-inspired confusion and political cowardice, we yearn for a decent, caring, deeply human soul whose grasp of the problems confronting us provides a light by which we can make our way through the quagmire of lies, distortions, pandering, and hollow self-puffery that strips the American Dream of its promise. How lucky we are, then, to have access to the wit, wisdom, and willingness of Thom Hartmann, who shares with us here that very light, grown out of his own life experience."
From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
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."
