From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."
From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
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."
The saddest aspect of all of this, is watching people who are going to move into that lower class echelon supporting these provisions which truly only benefit the very rich.
When did so many Americans become sheep?
Obviously, the correct answer is: "No... the only Americans these radical right-wing extremists ever listen to are the corporate 'people' by whom they've been bribed? purchased? um.... 'financed'".
My short answer to the question: "81 % of Americans polled support higher taxes on millionaires to reduce the deficit. Will the Republicans listen to Americans? My short answer is "NO"!!!
Over the past 2 years since then Sen. Barack Obama (D-Illinois) took Presidential Office and since the Republican's regained many losses to achieve a "Republican Victory" in taking over our U.S. House of Representatives, the Republican Party has become the "Party of NO". They have produced more frivolous fillibusters than all previous U.S. Houses in History combined. This did this to oppose any Good that President Obama, The Democratic Party, Progressive Party, Green Party and other's have sought to create on behalf of the American People. Since the election of Ronald Reagan back in 1980, the Republican Party has Proven Time and Time again that they are the "Party of the Crony-Capitalist Elite", not only in America, but throughout the world. Their political strategy is to first, "Accuse the Democrat's of doing what they themselves are doing, thus giving some false credibility in the eyes of their Republican Voter's. "If they make these claims first, like on FOX News, that somehow It Must Be True". It.s interesting to see in recent polls that when asked the question as to whether "they found Weapon's of Mass Destruction in Iraq/", over 70% of FOX viewers claimed that "they had". From MSNBC and Other Main Stream Media viewers it was in the range of 40% and from avid viewers of PBS only about 20% believed that "They Had Found Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq. The Republican Party truly does Not have what is in the best interest for the American People. The Republican Party sadly has become the political party "Of, By and For The Corporations" and Not "Of The People, By The People, and For The People" as the Democratic Party Still Is, Thank GOD!!! Please Note that the Definition of Government Run Capitalism is known as "FACISM". What we see here is a Very Unholy Alliance of The Republican Party and the worst form of Crony-Capitalism the world has ever known. They have become the Talking Heads of the NWO ( New World Order ) Elite. The NWO is also known as "The Power's That Be", The Trilateralists ( Tri-Lateral Commission ), WTO ( World Trade Organization ), The Kochs, The Bildeberg's ( Bildeberg Society ), The Rothschilds, Rockefeller's, and the ilk. They are the International Bankers ( BANKSTERS ) of our world. The More Money They Make, The More They Lust After It. Money Buys Them Power and Control over The Masses within our world. Their Money and Power Comes From Old. They Have Infiltrated Every Major Socio-Economic Sector Of Our Society. They Have Successfully Installed Their Operatives Within Our Government, Big Business, Education, Media, Military, and Yes, Even Religion. Their Power Is Given Them Only For A Short Time. As a Christian-Progressive-Democrat, I Strongly Encourage Everyone To Please Read Your Bible And Understand What Is Happening In Our World Today. GODS Message To All Of Us Is Clear. It's Not About How Much Money, Power, Control We Have In The World Which Matters, It's About What We Do Unto The Least Of These, Our People, Which Matters Most. Please Do Not Hate Them, For They Know Not What They Do. Only The Light Of Truth And Reason And Love Will Defeat The Evil Of Our World. The Battle Is Truly Over GOOD And EVIL Within Each And Every One Of Us. Please, I Beg Everyone To Hear My Warnings. Please Stand United Together In Faith In GOD Who Created All Of Us, Or Die And Eternal Death By Satan Who Attempts To Deceive Us All. The NWO Is Upon Us All. The Anti-Christ And False Prophet Are Already Here. The Age Of The Beast Has Begun With The Number Of The Beast Which Is "666". GOD Gives Us All "FREE WILL" To Decide How We Will Live And What We Will Do. We Are Supposed To Be The Caretaker's Of This World. The Republican Party Elite Has Shown Their Opposition To Everything GOOD and SACRED. They Have Defiled Those Would Otherwise Follow GOD. They Oppose The Environment, Healthcare, Free And Open Elections, Truth In Media, Truth In General. They Have Opposed And Destroyed Regulations Within Banking, Environment, Anti-Monopoly, Healthcare, Education, Etc. Google And Learn About What The Republican Party Platform Of 1956 Was And What It Has Become Today. Heed The Warning Of Former Presidents Eisenhower ( R ) and Kennedy ( D ). The Republican Party Platform For Right Now, 2011 And Beyond Is This: 1) More Tax Cuts For The Wealty-Elite, 2) Place The Burdens And Taxes On The Backs Of The People, 3) Kill All Regulation Which Protect All People, 4) Kill Environmental Regulations So Corporations Are Free To Pollute, 5) Oppose Single Payer Health Care With A Public Option, 6) Kill Education, Religion, The Arts, Freedom, Everything GOOD And Sacred To Us. If They Can Keep The Masses Uneducated, Poor, Afraid, Strip Them Of Their Faith In GOD, Then They Will Be Much Easier To Control, Without The Need To Even Fire A Shot. The Propaganda Minister Of Nazi Germany Josef Goebels said, "If You Repeat A Lie Enough Times, People Will Believe It".
It is the Big Corporations which control "The Media" by and large in America. They control most, if not all Elected Republican's along with some Elected Democrats. Please let us VOTE NO to this Evil, Contemptable Republican Party. They Are Not "The Party Of GOD" as they would have us believe. Please VOTE Progressive And VOTE DEMOCRAT. The Eyes Of The World Are Upon Us. Please Side With GOD And What Is About Goodness, Truth, Justice, Or Condemn Us To An Eternal Hell. The Choice Is Yours And Mine To Make. "TODAY, AS FOR ME, I SHALL SERVE GOD".

Crony capitalism is much easier than competing in an open market. But it erodes our overall standard of living and stifles entrepreneurs by rewarding the politically favored rather than those who provide what consumers want.”
-Charles Koch
If someone makes 1 million
If someone makes 1 million dollars in a year, what percentage of their income would be their fair share?
To: JustOneVoice Republican's is possessive. Republicans is plural. Democrat's is possessive. Democrats is plural. other's is possessive. others is plural. Voter's is possessive. Voters is plural. It.s ?. It's is a contraction of it is.
Please take time to present a more coherent rant. Thanks.
WE CAN SOLVE ALL OF AMERICA'S PROBLEMS BY URGING THOM HARTMANN TO BE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE FOR

"Replacing a job that is based in another country with a domestic job does not stimulate economic growth"
...I get it; it's an averages game, so if, for instance, one year 1 person makes $100mil and 10 people make $50k, and then the next year 1 person makes $110mill and 10 people make $0, that's almost a 9.5% increase everyone's making on average!
Republicans were elected in this last election - especially for the House - overwhelming. It still amazes me that working people vote against their best interests. Look at Wisconsin - it was the people of Wisconsin that elected Dictorial Governor Walker and a house and senate of Republicans. It is sad.
We are in for several years of budget cuts for the people that need it most and tax cuts and benefits for those that need it least.. Those millionaires and billionaires are in control and until the people of this nation realize that and VOTE to change the trend, this country will continue to fall deeper into a third world nation with those that "have" ignoring those "in need". GREED will coninute to prevail unless 'we, the people' wake up. Stop listening to Fox, Rush, O'Reilly, Beck, etc and following them like sheep to the slaughter.
