Romney/Ryan 2012: Trickle Down on America
#3
The abbreviation of Romney/Ryan to R/R reminds me of something. Thom should research where the term "railroad" (as a verb) comes from. Is it from the charter shopping that railroad barons did in the late 1800s? If so, it's an appropriate term to use against R/R, reflecting their pro-corporate stances.

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 Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
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."
Weird parallels are happening. Thom's wife has breast cancer surgery, then Ed Schulz's wife has ovarian cancer surgery. Thom has abdominal surgery, and today Ed was talking about getting back surgery soon. Good luck to everyone. I wish them all speedy recoveries.
