More From Jim Hightower

Populism is at its essence just determined focus on helping people be able to get out of the iron grip of the corporate power that is overwhelming our economy, our environment, energy, the media, government. one big difference between real populism and what the tea party thing is, is that real populists understand that government has become a subsidiary of corporations. so you can't say, let's get rid of government. you need to be saying let's take over government.
Real Party Government
There are two forms of populism, left-wing populism and right-wing populism. right-wing populism requires the denigration of an "other." left-wing populism tends to be about the haves and have-nots.

The real difficulty is with the vast wealth and power in the hands of the few and the unscrupulous who represent or control capital. hundreds of laws of congress and the state legislatures are in the interest of these men and against the interests of workingmen. these need to be exposed and repealed. all laws on corporations, on taxation, on trusts, wills, descent, and the like, need examination and extensive change. this is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people no longer. it is a government of corporations, by corporations, and for corporations.
Real Men Hands
If you start with the presumptions that liberals do, that corporations are evil and it all descends from that and that government is great and that government's there to make sure corporations play fair and are not mean and do not rip people off, there's a little bit of truth in everything. some corporations are bad, some corporations have done bad things, but as a general rule, it's dangerous to subscribe to things like that.
Rip Mean People
God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion... we have had thirteen states independent for eleven years. there has been one rebellion. that comes to one rebellion in a century and a half, for each state. what country before ever existed a century and a half without a rebellion.
