The destruction of the American Dream isn’t just an abstraction; it’s measurable. In 1980 when Reagan was elected president, at the peak of the American Dream, fully two-thirds of American families were in the middle class. hartmannreport.com/p/chapter-9-...

The GOP has always aggressively pursued a pro-wealthy agenda… At the expense of all others, including the environment. Yet they succeeded in defining themselves as so righteous. It’s a straight line from Ronnie to Donnie.

And then came Republican tax cuts for the rich, being sold to the poor, who got crumbs and liked anything they could get, while the rich made out like bandits....

Please, please can’t we get you back on Sirius at lunchtime? John Fugelsang’s show is apparently going to be bookmarked by penis jokes. So unserious. Not a program for this time slot or this channel, frankly.

Email Sirius! We have a Sirius subscription. I typically listen on YouTube so I can hear the calls during the commercial breaks, but I'm still emailing to ask for Thom back on at noon.

There has been a war by the morbidly wealthy on the those that were in the middle class since 1980. The middle class has been reduced to a shadow of its former self while the morbidly wealthy have thrived and grown into the billionaire oligarchs we have now. We must end this war.
