Why won't Republicans come to the table to close the tax loopholes that let millionaires and billionaires pay less in taxes than hard-working Americans - many of whom are struggling to survive?

Eyal Press, Beautiful Souls: Saying No, Breaking Ranks, and Heeding the Voice of Conscience in Dark Times joins Thom Hartmann. For Tonight's Conversations with Great Minds...we examine the question of what leads people to stand up - dissent - and show true moral courage during times of crisis - especially when there's great risk in doing so. What's drives these resisters - whistblowers - conscientious objectors - who throughout history have tried to warn entire societies of the risk of succumbing to authority and convention. It's a question tonight's guest sought ought to answer - by going all the way back to World War 2 and telling stories of those who've defied the Nazis. And later - stories of those who defied their own communities and governments and set their guns downs rather than fight a way they didn't believe in. And those who today are taking on Corporate America. Eyal Press is a journalist and author whose work has appeared in the New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic, and The Nation. He is a past recipient of the James Aronson Award for Social Justice Journalism. And he is the author of the book we'll explore tonight - Beautiful Souls: Saying No, Breaking Ranks, and Heeding the Voice of Conscience in Dark Times"

Tonight's "Big Picture Rumble" panel discusses how growing wealth inequality has been driven by the low capital gains tax rate, how Republicans in Congress are benefiting from our country's private prisons and another argument from the gun nuts on why Americans need to be armed. In tonight's "Daily Take" Thom explains how we need to reinstate the draft in order to have less war and kill the military industrial complex.

A new study out today on income equality is a major blow to the GOP's argument on the sequester. It's the wealth inequality, stupid! Forget about the sequester - if we really want to rebuild our economy and strengthen the middle class - we need to tackle the epidemic of income inequality in this country.

Austin Petersen, FreedomWorks, joins Thom Hartmann. Rand Paul vs. Marco Rubio vs. Barack Obama. After President Obama gave his State of the Union speech last week - Republican senators Marco Rubio and Rand Paul gave seperate responses to the speech. Is this an indication of the growing divide within the Republican Party - and will the rift between establishment Republicans and everyone else continue to grow?

Mike Papantonio, Ring of Fire Radio & Mark Riley, AM 1600 WWRL Morning Show, join Thom Hartmann. All of a sudden - voting rights cases are flooding the chambers of the Supreme Court. But will these cases provide a boost to the voting rights of American citizens - or give billionaires even more power in our corrupted elections system?

Thom talks with Journalist Mark Ames on the history of our government's assassination programs. Attorney and Radio Host Mike Papantonio and Radio Host Mark Riley join Thom to discuss the upcoming voting rights cases the Supreme Court will hear, and Libertarian Austin Petersen discusses the civil war going on within the Republican party. Thom takes viewer phone calls in "Your Take, My Take Live," and in tonight's "Daily Take" Thom details how we should ignore the sequester and focus on the real issue facing our nation: wealth inequality.

You've heard of the birthers, the tenthers and the climate change deniers - but there are some new crackpots making themselves heard in Washington today. I'll introduce you to a pair of corporate shills doing their best to destroy the American economy in tonight's Daily Take.

The Good! The People of Bulgaria. After years of crippling austerity that's taken the unemployment rate to nearly 12%, the people of Bulgaria rose up and said they're finished with the Conservative austerity regime. And after days of anti-austerity protests rocking the country - the pro-austerity Bulgarian government formally resigned and called for new elections. As the outgoing Prime Minister said..."I can't watch as fences go up around Parliament. If the people want the government to resign then the state needs a new vote of confidence, so the people will decide how the government continues from now on." This is how organized people take down the banksters. And we should be paying attention here in the United States.

Neil McCabe, Conservative commentator joins Thom Hartmann. Switzerland is taking the lead in taking on the banisters. In yesterday's show we talked about how. Switzerland is poised to go to the polls next month and vote on some of the harshest restrictions on executive bonuses in the world. And now - the Swiss are promoting a campaign to put an end to banksters making huge amounts of money on global food speculation. In other words - making a lot of money by jacking up the price of food and watching the developing world starve. Check out their new devastating ad.
