Books:

"Screwed: The Undeclared War Against the Middle Class -- And What We Can Do About It" by Thom Hartmann.This book by Thom Hartmann should be required reading in every school in the United States. He lays out concisely what our country has done and needs to do to have a Democracy and a middle class and clearly demonstrates how the so called conservatives now and all the way back to the founding of the nation haave tried to destroy democracy and the middle class in favor of corporatocracy and an elite ruling class. Simple to follow and understand. The book really puts everything into a clear perspective. I repeat ... everybody should read this book.
