2. Read the book I recommended to see how much clearer, better a writer he is than a speaker.

Seriously. His book is that good.

But humans are going to have to face corporate power. The Tea Party faced the East India Company who ran the tax system in England; the civil war was fought to throw off corporate slavery; world wars were fought to re-establish democratic governments over fascist corporatism.

We're going to have to see how corporations are running everything. Everything. Just letting us play our little democracy games.

Hartmann's book will awaken us to what we really have to do. Some in our Congress know right now, but their hands are tied without greater public pressure to do something about SCOTUS and corporate personhood.
