(58,292 posts)He lost a lot of credibility with me after his JFK CT, and then he got involved with RT and I just stopped listening to him.
Years ago, when all he had was a radio show, I used to listen to him. He was at his best when he talked about how we need to raise taxes on the rich, pointing out that it makes businesses reinvest into the company, creating jobs, rather than pulling cash out to be socked away. I even bought one of his books, in hard cover, on the subject. He speaks a lot better than he writes--I put the book down after the first chapter and never bought any more of his books.
I don't think he is a member of the Democratic party. I seem to recall him saying he was an Independent. In a 2013 interview with Politico, he described himself as a "Democratic Socialist." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thom_Hartmann
