What the caller Randy brought up with Sen. Sanders is a regressive tax bracket system, not a progressive tax system. The Republicans in his state may call it progressive, but that's either an intentional lie, or they think "progressive" just means that the tax rate changes with income.

From Cracking the Code:

"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."

—Peter Coyote, actor and author of Sleeping Where I Fall

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:

"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."

—Dean Baker, economist and author of Plunder and Blunder, False Profits, and Taking Economics Seriously

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."

—Jim Hightower, national radio commentator and author of Swim Against the Current
