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 Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
From Screwed:
"Once again, Thom Hartmann hits the bull’s eye with a much needed exposé of the so-called ‘free market.’ Anyone concerned about the future of our nation needs to read Screwed now."
Hi Thom,
I am an uneducated white guy in Houston Texas. I went to the Bernie rally when he came to the university of Houston. I donated 100 to his campaign, my first donation ever! My question....why does the media make fun of people like me. Granted the angry white male thing is more about trump, but why denigrate us? I read huffpo, salon, politico and I see a lot of pontification about uneducaed whites for trump and they think they are for him because we are racist. My take is that if it was trump v clinton I would vote trump...do you know why? Because hillary was for the TPP before she was against it. Trump has been very critical of free trade. On that issue alone, I think Trump (might) be ok on trade, I know Hillary wil sell us out. So you tell me why are people like me stupid and racist for voting trump over clinton. If its cruz or rubio I vote for Jill Stein.
The democratic party used to represent working people, that died in 1992. Now its just a bunch of college boys and girls telling us dumb we are and we dont understand the big picture. They tell us to get educated...ok my two kids have 4 year degrees and I am scared for their future.
Can you explain why the establishment hates us?
