Thom, don't watch corporate media, it's a fools errand, except for weather, surprised they reported on U.S. airstrike on a Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) hospital.

Thom, "Hillary Clinton is campaigning as the middle-class candidate, but Bernie Sanders might just have her beat, according to the latest poll conducted by Google Consumer Surveys for IJ.com." http://www.ijreview.com/2015/10/438587-bernie-sanders-lefts-middle-class-candidate-latest-poll-says/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=owned&utm_campaign=ijalert

Thom,
I've listened to your show for a while on 1480 in Phoenix or at Progressive Voices via tunein.com.
I'm seeking a clarification of something I thought I heard you say during the Hour 2 segment on conservative denial of child hunger in the US.
Right before a break, I thought I heard you make statements equating Independents with so-called low information voters. Perhaps I heard that incorrectly. Woulld you review the tape and explain what you may have been trying to convery with such remarks especially since candidate Sanders (I-VT) is an independent. Did I miss something?

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."
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."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
