he was so spot on. He says 800 people run America (not politicians) and we aren't in their club.

We had 4 billionaires in America when Reagan was president, we now have 400. Thom Hartmann said that our biggest threat to democracy is not taxing the rich.

Fox News has divided half the country against the other half, and they're actively making it worse. And then shooting after shooting is getting worse thanks to the NRA and their "shall not be infringed!!!!" bullshit. Fuck this sucks.
