Thom Hartmann's geeky science,

Michelle Kinsey Bruns, Women's Media Center joins Thom Hartmann.

Dr. Michael Hudson, Institute for the Study of Long-Term Economic Trends, joins Thom Hartmann. The United States is the only developed nation in the world that doesn't guarantee paid holidays, paid annual leave, or paid maternity leave. They've taken away our sense of safety in the workplace - as safety laws and regulations are continually getting watered down. Heck, they've even taken our money by flattening our wages during a time of increased productivity. And in New Hampshire - Republicans are doing the bidding if Corporate America to get rid of our lunch breaks. This is nothing short of theft - and pretty soon, we'll be handing over the shirts on our backs, just so our bosses can squeeze out whatever profits they can. It's also symptomatic of a larger war being wages on not just working people - but entire cities and even our federal government by the financial elite

Thom talks with Economist Michael Hudson on the drastic decline in worker retirement pensions. Also discussed: Sheriff Joe Arpaio's posse starts patrolling Arizona schools, the lack of women in the media and why drinking soda may be making you depressed. Thom takes viewer phone calls in "Your Take, My Take Live" and in tonight's "Daily Take" Thom explains how the rest of us can make money like the billionaires do.
