PLEASE, provide links or titles of articles/books/documentation, that will help me to understand and prove why it is wrong to think that we should run the goverment like a business and that business owners know the only way to run this government.

my sister who thinks that herman cain is the smartest man alive and knows how to run a successful business and will be the only person who can save the united states by running it like a business. (hubby is a vp in corp america and not hurting for $$ and she is a bachmann type of wife who used to be an intelligent person when she was younger)

please know that when my sister said this to me, i literally wanted to throw up. i have never wanted to physically throw up by any statements made by a person, other than when i was angry and upset about the w presidency and thought i was crazy, until i found thom and steph and randi and mike and others, validating that i am not crazy. and now, i also want to cry when i see what repubs are doing by always saying NO, and people are dying due to politics of republicans and corporate money in goverment.

thank you all. renazantz in madison wi

Thom's Blog Is On the Move

Hello All

Thom's blog in this space and moving to a new home.

Please follow us across to hartmannreport.com - this will be the only place going forward to read Thom's blog posts and articles.

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."
Robert Greenwald, political activist and founder and president of Brave New Films
From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
Jim Hightower, National Radio Commentator, Writer, Public Speaker, and author of the bestselling Thieves in High Places
From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
Paul Loeb, author of Soul of a Citizen and The Impossible Will Take a Little While
