Thom Hartmann

Passionate defender of the status quo.

"Only a return to liberal economic policies – a return to We The People again setting and enforcing the rules of the game of business – will reverse this dangerous trend. We've done it before, with tariffs, anti-trust legislation, and worker protections ranging from enforcing the rights of organized labor to restricting American companies' access to cheap foreign labor through visas and tariffs. The result was the production of something never before seen in history: a strong and vibrant middle class."

This deserves a serious Fisking. I'm working on it. Liberal, he calls 'em. There is nothing sacred about membership in any class. If you handle your property wisely, you move up.
If you don't, you don't. The government should exist to ensure only that dynamic. That's "liberal," Hartmann is advocating a freezing of the present structure.
