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 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:
"If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story."
Trump and Fox news claim all DarkSkin people are poor,living in slums and on welfare.Well my daughter is white and her husband 1/4 Mexican .They had an opportunity to purchase a home in Prince George County ,Maryland ....in one of the wealthiest Black communities in the United States! They are the minority !!!!!!(Her family was living in DC but could not afford a home there,all the rich lobbyist and investors are buying up everything!!Kicking out the middle class and poor )Since the purchase ,her home has increased in value. Its a great neighborhood and have get together's.Our family does not see color,we see people! My granddaughter is 1/8 Mexican. I have known my son-in-law since he was in 5TH grade and works in the DC area. He is very successful.My son goes to George Washington University......When you see him with his friends there and friends at home its like a rainbow........they all have different ethnicities.
My husband and I have black friends and always worked with Dark Skin people.Racial profiling has never stopped.....our friends and coworkers are consistently stopped due to their color.We live outside the Chicagoland area.
One last thought.....My father was 100% German,he did not become a citizen till he entered the Army in WWII.HE fought against his own People(even family) and was awarded the Bronze Star and Purple Heart.He fought in Korea and was a Master Sergeant during Vietnam.He married my mother who is Jewish in 1957.
Trump and all Republicans who support him want to stop people with certain ethnic backgrounds or religion from entering our country .My father did not fight for such discrimination!
