  • If The Senate Trial Doesn't Blow Up The GOP's Big Lie — Democracy Is Doomed

    Thom plus logo It's about more than just the impeachment of Trump

    Republicans are arguing today that impeaching Donald Trump after he has left office is unconstitutional and makes no sense…because he's left office.

    This just proves that they're operating in the interest of politics rather than the United States, and a couple of simple data points blow their argument all to hell.
  • The Commons: The Most Ignored & Essential Part of Democracy

    Thom plus logo "Conservatives" don't want a discussion of the commons because they want to plunder it for private gain.

    It's almost entirely absent from our political dialogue, but the issue of who owns the commons and how they're to be used (and by whom) is at the core of almost all the major debates between Democrats and Republicans, conservatives and liberals, and even those advocating democracy versus those trying to install oligarchy.

  • It's Time for a 74% Top Tax Bracket to Save America From Our Billionaire Problem

    Thom plus logo The secret billionaires don't want you to know is that your pay won't change whether taxes go up or down

    It's time to bring back the top 74% tax bracket that Ronald Reagan blew up, so average working people's wages can rise again and we can get our billionaire problem under control. It'll also enable America to return to the widespread growth and prosperity America saw before Reagan took a meat-axe to our economy.

    Ever since Nixon took over the Republican Party in the 1960s, they've had to add fringe group after fringe group to get enough voters to win elections. Today, their Marjorie Taylor Green dilemma shows the severity of Nixon's party's crisis.

    Thom plus logo What's More Important: Democracy or Great Wealth?

    Some years ago, Trump economic adviser Stephen Moore (before he was Trump's advisor) was a guest on my radio/TV program. I asked him, "Which is more important, democracy or capitalism?"

    Without hesitation, he answered, "Capitalism."
