Rediscover Populism

REDISCOVER POPULISM

Contrary to the myth propagated by the media and the RICO-enabled
Democratic Party leadership, populism is not dead. In fact, since the
late 1800s it's been the one thing that has repeatedly worked for
progressives. The real divide in this country is not between Democrats
and Republicans, blue states and red, conservatives and liberals,
faith-based and sectarian, or socialists and capitalists, but between
little folk and big shots, between ordinary citizens and their
leaders.
The Democratic elite don't want you thinking about this because it
gets
its money from the latter even while pretending to represent the
former.


American populism has a long past. As early as 1676, the farmers in
Virginia were upset enough about high taxes, low prices and the payola
given to those close to the governor that they followed Nathaniel
Bacon
into rebellion. One hundred and ten years later, farmers of
Massachusetts complained that however men might have been created,
they
were not staying equal. Under the leadership of Daniel Shays they took
on the new establishment to free themselves high taxes and legal
costs,
rampant foreclosures, exorbitant salaries for public officials and
other
abuses.
