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.
450000 have died from Covid. 78% were older than 70. Just using rough figures. Those 450000 probably got 2000 per month in Social Security and Medicare. 450000 x 2000 x 12 = 10,800,000,000 per year. Kind of makes a 1.8 trillion dollar relief package look cheap. Republicans offered 1/3. The relief package is not just handouts. A lot is for covid testing, vaccine distribution, State relief etc. Add on to this that someone inherited the savings of those 450000 that now enters the economy. Republicans probably look at calculations like this as a reason to lower taxes.

Higher taxes on the wealthy, properly managed, are what built America. Now, we can't even afford to maintain what we already have. Like the homeowner who can afford the morgage payment, but has no money left over to fix anything. Our government caved.
Yea, it's all about paying taxes for the commons and quality of life. It helps to bring equal opportunity, choice, and less stress. The rich and corporations use the commons, but don't want to pay for them: roads, fire/police protection, national security, airports, educational systems, public lands/parks, water resources, governmental research, and etc. etc. etc.
There are other things American workers have been subjected to that have created wealth for the billionaires but have left them holding the bag with flat wages. The big ones are automation and the constant push to increase productivity. The workers are rarely paid for that heavier work-load. The automation is inevitable, but we need to make sure we pay for their re-education, especially for the trades. They need unemployment when they lose their job to a machine or off-shoring.
The right likes to espouse work not welfare. They need to apply that to the rich and corporations that take advantage others that work to keep this country humming. The Covid crisis has shown us just how essential our workforce really is. And even though we can live temporarily without some of the jobs, we know we will all lose our minds if we can't get our other workers back out there to take care of the less essential stuff we absolutely love to do!
Increasing taxes and funding programs that support working folks puts more money in our pockets. An example is the establishment of Social Security in 1935 and Medicare in 1965.
If you don't have to pay an exorbitant amount of your income on things like healthcare and education, as we do, then you have more money to build wealth.
@ #2 asked; "Why do these inexperienced people even get elected?
Because there is no cure for stupid, uninformed voters, who can't decern the difference between theater and reality.
Thank you i-phones....
One thing though from your example it sounds like either way the employee still nets the same pay of 30k. So I am trying to figure out how the tax increase helps. Yes it gets them a higher pay but if they are still only able to spend 30k of it what difference does it make? Please explain. Thanks really want to understand.
David Cay Johnston is doing a series on tax policy for the rich vs the rest of us over at http://dcreport.org
Tax them??!
You would have better luck, chasing a hungry bulldog
off of a meat truck than separate a "Cash Junkie" from
a dollar. (I know them, some are "relatives", and I never talk to them.)
Money is no less an addiction than cocaine, opium,
gambling or methamphetamine
to these rich things.. er, um "people"..
Once in a blue moon, you will find a philanthropist
Who actually does share his wallet with others.

Why do these inexperienced people even get elected? Colorado has Lauren Boebert. A restaurant owner that passed her GED 1 month before running. She is famous for a restaurant where the Waitress's wear guns (do not complain about the service). She defeated her Democratic opponent by calling her a socialist, because she had a PHD in Sociology. She is a Qanon supporter and tweeted location directions for Nancy Pelosi during the insurrection. Come on people think about what you vote for! The same for Marjorie Taylor Green, No relavant experience, A nothing. The minimum salary in Congress is $174000, elect someone that deserves it.
I just heard Thom mention national service on his radio show. I have long thought that mandatory 2-3 year service would be very beneficial. Year 1 would be based on basic and advance training military service. Year 2 would be civilian service along the lines of Americorp in which cadets would work on civilian projects throughout the country, from assisting in schools, clinics, parks, etc. The 3rd year would be more specialized training and education based on cadet's preferences. Or they could continue in military training While enrolled in this national service, cadets would receive free health care and education and training. By the time they graduate from service, they would have equivalence of associate's or technological school degrees and practical work experience in a variety of settings. They would also have the option of maintaining the federal health program after they leave service. Graduates could stay in the national service.
We could solve problems of health insurance/ coverage, and high tuition

Whoever is in control, I would just like to see the budget balanced and the size of government reduced. Governmental bloat is a major portion of our national budget.
When Dr. Justin Frank was on Thom's show, he wondered if Trump stole the 2016 because of all the projecting he was doing about a stolen election. The current day billionaires backing the Republican Party and Qanon are profoundly amoral, deranged and sociopathic. Are the billionaires projecting about pedophile rings ? Are they projecting about Socialism ? Is this group of billionaires covering for their desire/intent to have a totalitarian government, to get that they would need to destroy democracy first.
If Republicans do not impeach Trump, and expel Marjorie Greene and the other insurrectionists, they are clearly signaling their intentions.
Democracy has a temporary reprieve, not sure if it will survive the continuing pandemic, economic crisis, and white supremacist violence to come.
Well, I hope you're enjoying your life in Qatar.
Two years later, looking at the state of the democrats, I must say they aren't looking too bad these days. Every party has their appointed time to shine.

Thoughts create our reality, and gratitude is an attitude. Two axioms I live by.
I am a citizen of the wealthiest country in the history of mankind, and I'm eternally grateful to be here.
With oligarchs controlling the news media and politicians too, I think America is an oligarchy hard past the point of no return. The voters are collectively dumb as a stick (completely neutralized by the oligarch's media inciting voters to fight each other). So how do you turn that around without a major economic crash or a violent revolution?
Wow! Thank you for sharing great post! This is a very interesting story. We live in an era of digital technology. To achieve success today, in my opinion, a person should be talented in everything. I admire the young guys who, from scratch, are raising multimillion-dollar companies. It is wonderful to watch this. To develop our talents, we need to learn something new every day of our life. In our time, learning has become both more difficult and easier, harder because curriculum is improving but the level of necessary knowledge is growing. It’s easier because the guys from https://papernow.org/essay-editing-service continue to help students solve problems of varying complexity.
