Thom,
You confused a couple of names today. Peter Beinart is asking Rep Weiner to stay on, with which I agree. Larry Beinhart, who you, Thom, have made my hero, has shown that taxing the rich is only hope. Today, you were calling Peter Beinart the tax guy.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"In an age rife with media-inspired confusion and political cowardice, we yearn for a decent, caring, deeply human soul whose grasp of the problems confronting us provides a light by which we can make our way through the quagmire of lies, distortions, pandering, and hollow self-puffery that strips the American Dream of its promise. How lucky we are, then, to have access to the wit, wisdom, and willingness of Thom Hartmann, who shares with us here that very light, grown out of his own life experience."
From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
Peter Ferrara continuously displays impolite behavior, leads with inappropriate accusations and works frantically to filibuster every discussion Thom attempts to have with him. This bombastic behavior combined with his lack of fact-based appraisal of reality makes listening to him . . . bad radio.
