1. God I wish Thom Hartmann's words would be UNDERSTOOD by so many more...
>"The "middle class" is the creation of government intervention in the marketplace, and won't exist without it"
I only wish those complaining about gov't being bad, or that it shouldn't play a part in guiding the economy would GET this point.
So many people thing that the "free market" brought about the middle class (or that the middle class has always existed) and that gov't is the problem, WHEN THE REVERSE IS THE TRUTH.
