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.
Reply to #11: sounds like YOU read nothing at all.
Reply to #12: Thom might avoid responding here for strategic reasons. Or it could simply be that he's too busy to respond to us... or that he intends this to be a platform for us to speak our minds, so that he knows what people are thinking.
Tax rates after one million should ladder up to eventually 100%.......the golden rule problem, those with the most gold make the rule, would be solved. With all of the wars and problems extreme wealth concentration has caused throughout all of recorded history.....it's down right ludicrous that we the super majority have allowed Trumpish billionaires to happen.
Sorry Thom. I can't stomach watchin anmore idiots on your "Rumble".
You are right there but how do we get Thom and others to take this on. I have NEVER seen a reply here from him, on anything, and this is a great group of loyal followers!
pitiful clips;
Sounds like you read mein kemph and not the
bible.
Great analogy, Cheerful! God was a Republican.
Brilliant as always Thom ~ appreciating how you consistently go to the heart of the matter!
Greed has 2 parts. Part 1: more for me. Part 2. nothing for anything else. The Bible created greed. The Bible Nightmare Stories told to little children and then written down and called Holy Scripture introduced the original nightmare story of greed. Here is a really fun garden. Do not eat this apple. Ooops! You guys ate the apple. You guys can no longer play in the fun garden. Instead you get to have absolutely nothing. From now on all human people get to have absolutely nothing. Worse than absolutely nothing. All human being people get to have limitless pain, torture and suffering for eternity. God gets to have more for him - he gets to live in the fun garden. He keeps making more and more human being people who get to have nothing for ever. Then God says, ok I will make you a deal even though you guys ate the apple. If you really, really believe that I am the most loving, kind and generous being ever, and beg and beg for me to like you again, then you can come back and live with me in the fun garden and together we can have fun watching all of the other human being infants, children and the rest of the human being people have worse than nothing for eternity. Stay Tuned.
Medicare has been very good to me but the supplemental insurance policies are something else! For one, they are very limiting in scope and are capped. Between Medicare premiums and supplemental medical and pharm insurance, they take 1/5 of my income. This isn't right. I want to see the day when we have Medicare for all....and I mean a Medicare system like my Canadian relatives enjoy....now that would be something, indeed.
Reply to #6: Yeah, ain't that outrageous. Doctors discovering cures for cancer, getting murdered by cancer industry's thugs. I read the article already.
But in a "culture" where only MONEY is sacred, that's what we get: a culture of DEATH.
The exposure of the supression of GcMAF, a treatment for more than thirtyseven serious diseases is what happens Thom. REVEALING NEWS!
What does GcMAF do?
The GcMAF Conference 2013 showed GcMAF is a far more powerful molecule than thought, both in terms of the science, and doctors' results. In stage 4 cancer, some doctors who use the full protocol, listed on "Treatment Strategies," are saving every patient (if they have not had chemotherapy.) Success can be achieved with all tumour cancers including breast, lung, prostate, pancreatic and melanoma. There is no patent here so financial costs are low for the patient and profits are greatly reduced for the phama companies.
INVESTIGATION: Three days before Dr. Bradstreet was found dead in a river, U.S. govt. agents raided his research facility to seize a breakthrough cancer treatment called GcMAF - NaturalNews.com http://www.naturalnews.com/050553_Dr_Bradstreet_GcMAF_cancer_therapy.html
REVEALED: Cancer industry profits 'locked in' by nagalase molecule injected into humans via vaccines... spurs tumor growth... explains aggressive vaccine push - NaturalNews.com

mathboy, among others -- We do not need any new laws or ideas, like controlling the ratio between CEO and median pay. The New Deal and Great Society had all the laws we need. We do need to bring back all the laws that the repugs have repealed. Even without those we could enforce the laws we have on the books. For example, quit granting waivers for the Buy America Act of 1936. I think we do not realize how powerful these laws are.
Brilliant analogy, Thom! Unlimited growth = CANCER. The parallels seem endless, the more one looks into this.
And I hear ya, stecoop. Christian, my ass. These are the kind of "Christians" Jesus was driving out of the temple. I feel for ya, working for a miserly old dirtbag Republican. Must be hard having to deal with that, day in and day out.
Thom Hartman isn't serious. Everytime he allows an intelligent adversary on his show he gets his ass kicked. No wonder he expends so much effort building straw men to battle.
Loves that mute button, too. What a pussy.
Time to eradicate the cancer. Whatever needs to be done to do that, so be it. Let us start out nice by standing by Bernie Sanders. Then we do whatever it takes to wipe this corporate cancer out. That or continue down the horrible road we are on. It will get much worse if we don't do something and it is past time to do it.
Kend -- I hope you realize that you have self-identified as a cancer cell.
DAnneMarc -- Be sure to save some of your money for Alan Grayson and Elizabeth Warren.
tom krauser -- You are being sucked into the ignorance of non-economists. Robert Reich in his book, Aftershock, points out any healthy economy needs at least a 4% inflation rate (that 4% is the CPI number not real inflation; which means real inflation needs to be even more for a healthy economy).
billionaires and Federal Reserves and multinationals are money hoarders by design. Billionaires hoard to retain power to both build and destroy. Federal Reserves hoard to enrich themselves at the expense of the worker. even after creating trillions of free reserves over nine years the chair can straight face exclaim "inflation is well below its 2% target" and of course the multinationals hoard in fear of having their money used up on fruitless schemes to give back to community? massive amounts of world income is wasting away in vaults of frightened bankers trying to increase their insecurities ?
Uh, you missed something kend... these are NOT private companies. These are publicly traded companies that we're talking about.

Yes, Medicare is IMPORTANT, but the few times I've been ill in my 67 years, what I had to pay out after Medicare, was still OUTRAGEOUS! But I paid it, as little and as long as I could!
Being 67 years old, a Black American woman, I can count on Both of my HAND'S, how many times I had to use the Emergency Room, and having to be Hospitalized!
What troubles me so much is that, I am NOT a sickly Person, what I MUST PAY into my Healthcare Coverage, what I don't need, why can't what I don't need, GO TO THE NEEDY?
It's why these GREEDY EVIL CEO'S don't want to cover People whom have lifelong illnesses; because, they do NOT want to see that they get the best CARE, all they want is our PREMIUMS in their Pockets and OFF SHORE BANK ACCOUNTS! I am having dry heaves, thinking about how these BASTARDS are RIPPING US OFF ... FOR WHAT, WHAT CAN THEY DO WITH ALL THAT MONEY???? Not HELP the People, but make them SLAVES TO THEM?
It VERY MUCH ANGERS ME, that I must pay this extra $40. month along with what they are taking from my Social Security Benefits, an additional 140.month; yet I don't need it, but it can't be SHARED AMONG the People who could use the COVERAGE!
This to me is all about GREED and outrageous EVIL! How can the Wealthy HAVE IT ALL, yet DENY the POOR of the HEALTHCARE they NEED?
Don't tell me, I'm not READY for a REVOLUTION, I AM READY!
and they say, BLACK FOLKS have HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE; watching us being KILLED by Racist Cops, everyday of the week ... are they kidding us?
It's STRESS .... NOT OUR DIET'S .... WONDERING WHEN WE WILL BE NEXT!

I agree with those that point out whatever Hillary says is nothing like she will do. She will only try to compete with Bernie because she knows she has to. That is all it is to her, talk. She will do as told by big money and everyone with an ounce of thought knows that. It has been her M.O. for a long, long time. Bernie is the only solution and it will take all of us to stand with him if we ever want to see America great again. I too will write his name in if need be. You can believe what Bernie Sanders says.
I was a GOP voter for years GOP changed Not me . GOP wants to privatize everything, kill ( as they call it Reform ) SS & medicare , which millions paid into for their old age. GOP greatly favors , passes anti middle class anti fair wages policies, laws, Deregulation of Corps, airlines , banks & more. NO safe guards to reign in greed . US has been on a SLow ( under the radar ) path to lower wages, busted labor unions, harmful court decisions, Citizens United should be called Billionaires United. Money is NOT Speech if it is that means those w/o lots of money have LESS Speech . Corps are NOT persons . MY husbands hard won pension was slashed ( 10 hr days in a factory ) We saved and planned for our old age for years , then our plans were just wiped out ! If we were a bank or huge corp We would NOT lose anything . We'd be more wealthy than ever . How is that moral or even legal in a democracy ? What became of the America I grew up in ...Im ready to go....
Angry Racist TX cop who treated this women so badly will likely get away with it. Its Texas after all. US anti middle class pro wealth policies, loopholes, laws, the dying of middle class is terrifing . I used to be firmly middle class., paid lots of taxes, lived modestly . Then my husbands hard won pension was Slashed...Now as a 72 yr old widow / caretaker I've had to spend our life savings just to get by and help my sick daughter. - pay health care & RX meds which keep going up. Last refill for insulin is
$ 520.00 . Soon I'll be broke unless I die first . I am so sad & disgusted...
