By webmaster
Hello All

Images of Thom
At Mondragon - both the mountain and the cooperative city - in Spain (written about in "Threshold" book)
Mueller's favorite place to pray (written about in "Prophet's Way"), and the roof of the room where the Last Supper is reputed to have happened.
From Screwed:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom is a national treasure. Read him, embrace him, learn from him, and follow him as we all work for social change."
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."
No. This is not about being adults this is about whether it's okay to extort the government (the people). We elected the president and obamacare.
ObamaCare:
the Heritage Foundation provided means that liberals used to perform their partial-birth abortion upon SinglePayer public funded healthcare for all
the MoveOn progressives' first do harm success in making the SickCare system sicker
2013 government shutdown:
theater of the absurd, in which the corporate party's fossil fueled Republicans and bankster backed Democrats acted like they were enemies, to make their shared neoliberal goal — a continuation of corporatism's care for corporate welfare by forcing people to purchase private insurance to ensure future profits — appear to be socialism coming to make government care about people
propaganda production staged to persuade poorly informed people that the corporate party's progressive Democrat implementation of a really regressive Republican idea for corporate care is people care
the corporate party's public deployment of a weapon of mass distraction, to draw attention away from whatever new evil policies its (R)s and (D)s are creating together, secretly, behind closed doors
desperate means used by the corporate party's Republicans to keep hope in (D) managed corporatism alive, and to herd hopeless sheeple into voting for the corporate party's deeply depraved Democrats... again

I knew from the beginning that forcing people to BUY Health Insurance ( personal responsibility ) that IT would be a SWEETHEART Deal for the Insurance companies .
Obviously, Medicare for all Single Payer or at least putiing a Public Option on the Exchanges would be better..
BUT you can criticize all you want , but were you able to mobilize people to vote for your idea ?
We the People are really so POWERLESS nowadays.
David J Cyr what is your idea ?
If I were youi wouldhave given a CONSTRUCTIVE alternative.
Dr Jill Stein was a good candidate. But the Greens have to win House Seats at least.
You have to become RELEVANT by winning.
My other reply to you seems to be lost
The natural person Americans are not powerless. In every election, they give their collective power to the corporate persons.
We have no actual system of care for people's health, with an insane agribusiness synergistically "cheap food" producing sick people to feed a SickCare system producing profits from insurance extortion industry; rapacious banksters in control of a rigged casino economy; a military engaged in serial resource war thuggery; "environmental protections" that protect polluters from environmentalists; bureaucracy compliant monkey "educators" testing children into unthinking blind obedience; and an ongoing catastrophic climate collapse because degenerate generations of the 99% have ever reliably been providing massive supermajority popular vote mandates for the corporate party's (R) & (D) team of sociopaths.
Those most guilty for the consequences of corporatism are the progressives, who have provided political protection for the corporate state since its birth in the Civil War. It's always been the progressives' job to murder any movement that rises up from the Left that they fail to constructively moderate into covert complicity with the state's criminality.
We've kept getting greater insanity and criminality from government because the 99% has kept voting for the corporate (R) & (D) party's sociopathic criminals.
(D) Voters:
people who believe good can only be achieved if their evil gets greater
progressives:
liberals who keep voting for the corporate party's Democrats so they can keep "protesting" against what they keep voting for

No. They are desperate to keep it from taking effect, if only for a year until after the next election. If it takes effect and a lot of people find out they like it, they are toast in the 2014 elections and they know it. Good opinion piece on this very subject in the NY Times which I posted on FB. I heard one Repub say last night on Crossfire that this is government intrusion into people's lives? What about all their intrusion into women's lives and bodies? I constantly pick up on these discrepencies and was amazed that Van Jones didn't jump on this and other things, unless he's constrained by CNN.
