Time To Stop Giving America Away to Billionaires & Big Corporations

Thom plus logo The FoxConn scam is just the latest in a long line of similar scams that companies have run all across the country since the 1980s. Cities and States should compete based on the quality of their infrastructure, which build their wealth and livability over time, instead of how much tax money they can give away, which erodes their wealth and livability over time. Any State in which companies get giant tax breaks for located their operations there should lose their federal highway funds. We need a race to the top instead of a race to the bottom.

Never called or posted before....hope this is the right venue :-) Am very in favor of Warren's wealth tax, and apparently, so was Trump in 1999 https://www.vox.com/2019/1/31/18203999/donald-trump-wealth-tax-14-5-percent. Apparently Trump isn't talking about THAT anymore! More importantly, I am fully convinved that Howard Schultz has been planted by his right wing buddies and/or Russia for the sole purpose of stealing votes in the 2020 election. Hopefully no one will be fooled. Hope Thom or someone brings this up on the show. Interested to know others thoughts. Just my opinion. :-)

Hello All

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
John Perkins, author of the New York Times bestselling book Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann seeks out interesting subjects from such disparate outposts of curiosity that you have to wonder whether or not he uncovered them or they selected him."
Leonardo DiCaprio, actor, producer, and environmental activist
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
