Because he's a sellout asshat shill, that will slap his name on anything for a buck?

Never did make sense to me how he could be such a "consumer advocate" one moment, then hawking wares from some business or another the next. Always struck me as a conflict of interest.

It always pisses me off when a customer wants to know if I'm his list. I always say no, I don't have the $5,000 a month it takes to be on it. What a joke. What comes around goes around.

serious fraudster.
I applaud it finally happening. (now when buffet goes we can all celebrate)

1.7mil in assets

79 MILLION in liabilities.

Exactly! The people that believe his crap are morons!

not sure why everyone hates him so much. everyone seems to have it in for those who succeed.

I was a martino preferred contractor for 7 years when i ran my remodeling company.

he does not shill for just any company. you have to be approved and the process is not easy. we did good work and for a fair price. we never had a complaint filed against us, but if we had believe me we would have had to step in line to stay on his list. being on his list was well worth it. the phone rang for first time about an hour after being posted and never stopped. there was more than one stretch where I stopped giving estimates cause we were booked 8 months in advance.

he makes the contractors on his list a lot of money and it was only $500 per month, not $5000, best advertising i ever had.

i don't know him personally, but i have had clients call his show and brag about my company and the work we did. you cannot buy that kind of advertising anywhere.

the reason his portfolio is so upside down is because most of it was in real estate. anyone heavily invested on the real estate side was hurt with the economy this last few years. especially in the commercial side.

say what you will, but Tom puts a lot of people to work employs a lot of people, his land developments employ everyone in the construction trades. he make donations to needy families through his foundation and get a lot of people back their money when they get screwed by a bad contractor or other business.


from what i understand he made his money the old fashioned way through hard work. as someone who has been self employed for going on 23 years now, i have to admire him and what he has accomplished. when a man can get on the air and admit to the whole world that he is in the dumps financially that takes guts.

I don't see why you would take glee in seeing someone losing a life's work.

JMHO

I don't know if I'm just reading it wrong or what but I don't believe your math adds up
