Thom,

Speaking of not feeling like you can speak to your congressional representative - Article 1, Section 2 of the US Constitution says "The Number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand, but each State shall have at Least on Rep..." Right now we are at around one congressional rep for every 800,000 people - which makes it very difficult to have the opportunity to speak to your rep unless you the $$$$ they need for campaign purposes.

Entitlements? When you work for your employer with the agreement that you will be compensated by the employer for your labor or service - that compensation you are entitled to. Hence, your paycheck is an entitlement. Who doesn't like entitlements?

Thom's Blog Is On the Move

Hello All

Thom's blog in this space and moving to a new home.

Please follow us across to hartmannreport.com - this will be the only place going forward to read Thom's blog posts and articles.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."
Dean Baker, economist and author of Plunder and Blunder, False Profits, and Taking Economics Seriously
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."
Jim Hightower, national radio commentator and author of Swim Against the Current
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"With the ever-growing influence of corporate CEOs and their right-wing allies in all aspects of American life, Hartmann’s work is more relevant than ever. Throughout his career, Hartmann has spoken compellingly about the value of people-centered democracy and the challenges that millions of ordinary Americans face today as a result of a dogma dedicated to putting profit above all else. This collection is a rousing call for Americans to work together and put people first again."
Richard Trumka, President, AFL-CIO
