He is very smart. This is what he did in court every day of his life: vet a compliant jury and convince them to stick it to The Man, The AMA, The Rich Physician, The Insurance Companies. Take some of that gleaming gold from their deep pockets. Robbing the rich to give to the poor.
That's what he's doing now.
Every little envious slacker and neer-do-well out there will find appeal in sticking it to The Other America, The Rich People, The Widescreen TV People, The BMW/Mercedes Crowd. They don't care about anyone including the children and single Moms, so it's time to TAKE IT from them. After all, I deserve just as much as that software engineer and that book publisher and that shoeshined business consultant.
Hold muh beer while I TAKE IT FROM 'EM!

Yep. And in the same way that “progressive” is a euphemism for “communist”, the euphemism for this sort of “class-warfare thief” is “populist”. Or maybe “Robin hood”.
The Pubbies have one of these, too. His name is Huckabee.
