In this book, Thom Hartmann briliantly weaves history and constitutional vision with contemporary politics and economics. Matter of fact, Thom Hartmann does this weaving of the history of the founders' vision with modern day events and issues better than anyone, ever.

Hartmann has hit another grand slam homerun with his newest book, Screwed: The Undeclared War Against the Middle Class -- And What We Can Do About It

This book nails the truth about how the right wing-- in both parties-- have been screwing the American people, except for the one hundredth of one percent who earn over $6 million a year.

The book walks through so many of the big lies (taxes, big government, trickle down economics) of the faux conservatives-- which he calls, so appropriately-- "Cons."

As a publisher of a progressive website, I kept reading stretches of chapters and saying to myself-- "Wow, that would make a great article." While the book is a non-fiction book, it started off in the first two pages touching my heart, bringing tears to my eyes. (watching inconvenient truth brought tears too.) It is a very fast, smooth read. You do have to put it down every now and then, to deal with outrage build-up.

As usual with Hartmann's books (amazingly, Amazon lists over 200 results in a search books by Thom Hartmann, including ones he wrote forwards to and translations into other languages) he offers great solutions as well as unique, insightful perspectives on the problems.

I'm recommending this as the best book you'll read this year.
