I'm waiting for them to buy the TVA. That will be the next shoe to drop.

Are there other horrors in the "bill" that the Democratic Senators from Wisconsin DO NOT WANT to vote on?

The Koch brothers want it privatized so as to turn nececities like elctricity and water into a for profit business,which will cause peoples rates to skyrocket.people will then have a choice to pay it or freeze in the winter.

Compared to FOX TVs

( I don't use the word "NEWS" in the same sentence with that propaganda crap) guy that tricked the ACORN workers, this tape we got on Walker is prime,factual disclosure of a true CORRUPT politician." WALKERGATE", we should call it,like Nixons' WATERGATE tapes...heehee. Just looking at Walkers' face- do you notice how unintelligent the look on his face is? This all seems like we were thrown into some 3rd World scenario with some PUPPET dictator trying to oppress the workers,doesn't it? Wow... and yeah,the dude is definitely a KOCH WHORE.

The corporatization of America and the application of the shock doctrine roll on.

Let's look for the upside here. Khodorkovsky eventually ended up in jail. Maybe when the Koch brothers run afoul of president Huckabee (Il Duce), he will exile them to Alaska. I thought that we were "turning Japanese" not Russian.

When myBb-I-L (brother-in-law) was a lineman for Southeastern REMC, the corporate gluttons wanted to uy it at original cost!

He grabbed a 33KV transmission line and lostwo fingers and was moved to management and became a hard-lind Reananite. He also supported "God's Time" rather than saving money with DST. Never did understand that all time is standardized for convenfence of transportation timetables. Lots of fun visiting but never taught him anything. Guess that since I was a college graduate I wasn't to be believed. Thus goes the political themes. Those with technical degrees tend to be liberals and those with business-law degrees tend to be conservatives and those who drop out of schools tend to be Tea-Partyers. All votes are equal except in Florida and Ohio so I guess we'll just have to hunker down in our tornado cellars and bear it!

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 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."
Paul Hawken, coauthor of Natural Capitalism and author of The Ecology of Commerce
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."
