If I could ask Romney anything it would be if he would be willing to live off of one of my paychecks for a couple of months without access to any of his money or accounts to see how the middle class lives.

Hey Thom,
I just want to thank you for being you, your show is the best anywhere, anytime, IMHO. You are one of my favorite teachers.
Afghanistan seems to be an especially hot topic lately which is a good thing, but what we don't here is the real reasons why we are still there. The media always acts as if the U.S does not have any alterior motives. Were told very little about the deals that are happening behind the scenes like the Trans-Afghanistan Pipeline (TAP), and about U.S. investors (like J.P. Morgan) involvement in mining activities which Afghanistan is said to possibly have some of the biggest deposits of rare metals on the planet. So why are we really still there? So that J.P. Morgan can finish their work http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/18/world/asia/18mines.html?_r=0”? Are we staying there through 2014 so we can finish the pipeline which is scheduled to be completed in 2014? I would assume that there is a major mining operation going on as well involving some big U.S. players, but of course we don't here about these kinds of things in the news.
Anyhow, those are just some issues I think we need to have more info. about to understand the big picture.

From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Hartmann combines a remarkable piece of historical research with a brilliant literary style to tell the grand story of corporate corruption and its consequences for society with the force and readability of a great novel."
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."
From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
Paul Ryan says he wants to help the 47% get jobs so they can be good taxpayers.
He really is bad at numbers; the unemployment rate is not 47%.
