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?

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."

—Jim Hightower, National Radio Commentator, Writer, Public Speaker, and author of the bestselling Thieves in High Places

From Cracking the Code:

"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
