1. Thom Hartmann Is An American Treasure

He has the ability to cut through all the crap and find whats really going on in the big scheme of things and show/explain it in easily understandable terms. But he doesn't stop there, he always finds the problem AND shows what needs to be done to correct it and how to go about fixing it.

2. The message from Republicans is always "Times are tough, don't expect a raise."

3. Hartman misses a vital point.

The country has always been of the rich, by the rich and for the rich. The rest of us have either acquiesced, resisted or abetted it. The Revolution got rid of the British aristocracy and handed the power to our own.
