Romney's taxes:
It's funny how many of the same people who made a big deal of Obama's birth certificate, don't think that Romney's taxes are a big deal.

"The source of the information should be part of the information."
You'll have to prepare an argument to explain why a journalist may keep his sources secret.

Please, please, please. Post the transcript of the rant on being a conservative from today's show. It was truly an amazing reflection on how the conservative movement has affected us historically, and how it continues to try to move us backwards. It needs to be heard and read again.

From Screwed:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
From Screwed:
"Once again, Thom Hartmann hits the bull’s eye with a much needed exposé of the so-called ‘free market.’ Anyone concerned about the future of our nation needs to read Screwed now."
I just read an article in Bloomberg BusinessWeek about the Mormon Church's business activities. There's some concern about the lack of financial transparency, even to the church members that tithe. No one can tell if there's any separation of funds between the religious and business activities.
