title; why the "Reagan Revolution" Scheme to gut America's Middle Class is coming to an End..........Amen

Sorry I can't cut and paste a snippet for review my computer is not well.

1. Is he still taking funding and/or production support from Russian Military Intelligence via RT?

Always bothered me.

3. i don't know

I got this article from Randi Rhodes "homework" section on her site.

11. You really should before you spread what he's spreading.

You don't have the information you need for every article of his, of course, but we do know he is/has been a Russian asset and has been spreading their hostile, propaganda warfare for years.

I'd suggest just googling topics of interest for OTHER, reputable sources. I crossed him off my list long ago.

13. Thanks for

your comment, I will take it under consideration. But I must admit his article was spot on.

4. IIRC, he left them in 2017

8. What is up with so many posters here

being so quick to attack good progressives?

His show was on RT in the past. He had complete control of the content. He left when it was necessary.

Hartmann does a lot of good with his show. It's a good thing he's on our side.

10. Ok. I don't share your opinion but that's cool. Doing business w RT isn't done lightly.

Assurances aplenty notwithstanding, zero strikes. Same for Hedges.

12. I'll give him a break.

I attended some meetings 50 years ago that he was at. This was back during the anti war days. I was impressed back then. Years later I read a couple of books he wrote that helped me with my ADD.
Years later I put it all together, the person. I have a lot of respect for him and can’t find anything in what he says that supports Russia.

2. He posted it here a day or two ago

5. oops

Thom beat me to it

[abqtommy]

6. I always used to listen to Thom and Randi when we still had a good lefty radio station

here in Albuquerque. I always enjoyed and agreed with both of them. There were a lot of
good presenters then like Stephanie Miller and Al Franken.

7. maybe just maybe Biden will lead us back to a world where the middle class

is once again in control.

[bdamomma]

9. President Biden

is doing his best. He came from a Middle Class family, he knows.

14. The article isn't bad, but I can't forgive Hartmann for repeating "both sides" misinformation.

Like that "Democratic Party elites" abandoned the working/middle classes and unions from 1972 to become the party of Wall Street, corporations, wealthy elites. Blaming Democrats for what Republicans do and promoting the myth that both parties have the same economic policies. I guess he's not doing that anymore, populist saviors aren't the fashion in 2021.

Also, if it was true Democrats are wealthy elites ignoring the 90%, why the hell hasn't there been an actual 1% upper class wealthy elite president like FDR since 1972? Carter, both Clintons and Obamas, none of them were upper class. Impossible to insinuate that Joe Biden is an elite ignoring the working and middle classes so that isn't the fashion in 2021 either.

Now I am cranky.
