Thom details what private equity firms actually do, and how they harm the economy and the working class. Tonight's "Lone Liberal Rumble" panel discusses Bain Capital as a campaign issue, what would happen if we don't end the Bush tax cuts and if the birthers will ever admit defeat. Also discussed: gay marriage and the African-American community and the beginning of the Occupy PGA movement. In tonight's "Daily Take" Thom looks at what would happen if we ran the government like a business.

Dr. Brad Braxton, The Open Church joins Thom Hartmann. This weekend - the NAACP voted to endorse same-sex marriage. Where does the African-American community as whole stand on marriage equality - and are the views of the community changing?

Conservatives are now calling President Obama's ads against Mitt Romney and Bain Capital, attacks against capitalism. So, since Republicans are quick to defend private equity - or pirate equity firms - like Bain Capital - even going so far as to argue that an attack on Bain is an attack on capitalism - maybe we should take a step back and explain exactly what it is that a pirate equity firm like Bain Capital does - and then ask the question whether or not this is REALLY American capitalism at its finest.
