This would be in-line with what Thom and Bernie are listing as goals, like free healthcare and education. I also call it economic populism to separate it from cultural populism which uses fear of the "other." The media keeps feeding us the BS that MAGA is populist. Interesting that they have now added Democratic elitists as to the "other." I am one, by definition (their definition). In so doing, they want to take the focus off the 1 percenters and the Billionaire Class while they keep picking our pockets. I will be taking my z-list, Substack blog in that direction shortly, calling it the Populist Blog, maybe even Progressive Populist Blog. Thom is an inspiration for that. Rise up and punch back.
