It seems that the Republicans gained in the House due to redistricting (I lament that Democrats allowed the gerrymandering by sitting out in 2010 ), in spite of a slightly higher number of votes for Democrats overall. I guess we could use a more objective districting system.

The Republicans didn't gain on the house, they lost a few seats. I agree, though in that, by sitting out, they were allowed free reign to redistrict. They would perhaps lost the house were this not so.

From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
From Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
Easy refutation of the Republican tax lie. A quick google search will reveal that the average profit per worker in the U S is 15000 dollars. So the republicans say that if we raise the to tax rate 3%, they will have to let people go. If you have a business that takes on 450000 dollars profit every year, that would raise your taxes 6000$ from what it its right now. So, say you let someone go, to save the 6000$. You have now deprived yourself of 9000$,(15000-6000) profit. How bad of a business man do you have to be to do that?
