Thom Hartmann: Could Universal Healthcare Kill the Military Industrial Complex?

[LongTomH]

1. It'll certainly kill the health racket billionaire CEO complex.

There'll be a lot of unhappy mistresses, that's for sure.

[Wellstone ruled]

2. Very well could.

Health Insurance Companies are nothing more than Banksters.

[Plucketeer]

4. Legalized thieves is what "health" insurers are.

It's a shame there's not a slithering snake "smilie" available.

3. Thom could do his own part by refusing

to cash his paychecks from the Putin propaganda outlet that he works for.

I get it, Thom. Anything for a buck.

[virtualobserver]

5. He doesn't get paychecks from them....he pays them for time on the network

Like an infomercial

[pnwmom]

6. Then he should pay someone else. n/t

[lapucelle]

7. Thom puts money into the pockets of a Putin propaganda

fake news site?

Oh, I feel so much better now.

[virtualobserver]

9. he spent many months on that channel last year telling people that Hillary was the best candidate...

was that fake news?

[lapucelle]

10. Of course not.

The fake news claim was not made about Thom; it was made about RT.

But Mr. Hartmann has no moral scruples about taking money from fake news propagandists.

[virtualobserver]

11. attacking someone who is totally on your side is absurd

you have already forgotten that he does not take money from them

[lapucelle]

12. The opinions of strangers,

especially those who draw hasty generalizations based on dubious assumptions to support questionable agendas, are best ignored.

But thanks for playing,

“It is just like man’s vanity and impertinence to call another dumb because it is dumb to his dull perceptions.”

[virtualobserver]

13. It isn't a game.

If you think that attacking people who are on our side helps us to win, more power to you.

[lapucelle]

14. People need to stop assuming that "their side" is "our side".

[virtualobserver]

15. Well, whatever side you are on...good luck.

8. I'm personally quite happy that Thom is paying to get on RT.

If any station needs some balance, it's RT. During the day, they are primarily a propaganda machine. Tom and Ed Schultz (if he's still on) provide some balance for the station, which actually has a wide viewership. What Thom and Ed are doing is something that is much needed and two better people to present the Democratic progressive view it would be hard to find.
