What a sympathetic guy. I think nothing is learned by debating with anyone related to religious/ other innovative void such as Fox News. Just listen to Gainor: zero fucking success in making a point. A rule of thumb: never debate a person who is paid extra to have a certain world view, e.g. a priest and Dan Gainor. Sophistic shit like this was proved idiotic in 500 BC.
I just rechecked and that Gainor did not site any sources for his myriad of claims. He sounds as if he had gone to no schools.
Thom Hartmann is as smart and well-read as anyone in broadcasting. But in this argument, all Mr. Hartmann do is review the facts that support his argument. He's doing no more than proving grass is green by pointing to it. Unfortunately, because of corporate media you hear too many Dan Gainors shoving tax cuts down our throats, pointing to the grass and calling it plaid.
Hartmann OWNED Gainor! What Pollyannas like Gainor won't cop to is the abject failure of the first principle of Reaganomics: Cut taxes on the rich and the rich will invest the wealth back into our economy. They didn't. It was a con and a lie. They lined their pockets, offshored manufacturing, invested in derivatives and all that awful crap. Yet, Gainor and his ilk continue to sell the lie, which was a proven lie by 1984, and Joe the Plumber continues to believe it. This country is screwed.
Thom Hartmann is absolutely awesome. He is what the vast populace should be listening to and I am one that supports the idea of him being on TV right after or before Keith O. I find his use of facts to combat the ridiculous talking points to be refreshing and needed on a grander scale. Thom if you read this please consider doing a TV program, you would be great and the nation would be the better for it.
I love Thom. Unlike so many talking heads today, he actually presents facts; not just "talking points". Why isn't he on during prime time? (I'm sure we all know why.. damn corporate media..)
The only reason it needs to be addressed is look at what we did after the great depression. We taxed the wealthy at 90% because the income inequality was so great. EXACTLY LIKE TODAY. It cannot be sustained so SOMETHING must change. Either taxes, stiffer penalties on tax cheats or higher middle to lower class wages. The only realistic options are Taxing the rich, WHERE THE MONEY IS!!!!, or stiffening the tax penalties. GOOD LUCK
Again, Thom presents the facts. Disparity in wealth is dangerous. This is not speculation and if you don't believe it, drive or walk into the inner city neighborhoods of Seattle, LA... any large city USA. Would you do it? I dare you. There is a formula for revolution between those that have... and those that don't. When you reach it, the have nots have nothing to lose by revolting. When the system is fair, the majority is educated and basic needs are met such as health care... peace!
good points its amazing that wealthy people are so stupid and short sighted, they would rather make a quick buck now with moronic policies and short-changing the workers who make them their wealth, that they don't realize they are cutting their own throats.
70% huh? Shit, why not 90% or 99%? As a matter of fact how about whenever someone declares a million dollar income the IRS comes in and seizes all their assets and holdings. Then, if they have any kids at Harvard we will pull them out and put them in some worker program. And if they protest we will just shoot them.

T.Hartman! you're freakin' awesome!!!! now, could you please adjust the volume on your videos? My speakers and settings are at max and it's still had to hear. Thanx
Reagan and republican policies have caused great damage to our economy and Dan Gainor thinks its great that Thom brings up this fact. It is hard to figure out how some people can be so dim-witted.
