hey thom,

undocumented residents get a TIN not EIN, TIN is Taxpayer Identification Number and EIN is Employer Identification Number. so the lady was incorrect in stating that undocumented folks get employer numbers.

When one of your guests said, "government does not create jobs", can't the same thing in the exact same sense be said of Wall Street? Of course, in one case the resulting good, if any, is privately directed and in the other case the goal is to advance the common good. Both processes have their flaws as my wife said after she lost half her savings in the stock market.

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."

—David C. Korten, author of The Great Turning and When Corporations Rule the World

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."

—Peter Coyote, actor and author of Sleeping Where I Fall

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."

—Peter Coyote, Actor and author of Sleeping Where I Fall
