Yep, the populist crap is sickening. It’s the heart of progressivism, this class warfare claptrap. Eeeevil wall-streeter makes millions at the expense of the poor downtrodden workers...it’s a Michael Moore movie waiting to happen. Someone on this thread actually cited THINKPROGRESS as a source, FCOL. What, couldn’t find the material in the Daily Worker??

I’ve decided to support Santorum, mainly because the whole stinking field is so bad that a warmed over ex-Senator with some statist, big-government tendencies actually looks better than the rest, though I have little hope he’ll change a freaking thing in DC.
The point is that Romney is a corporate rebuilding expert for creating profits. The Reagan model is supply-side driven, driving tax-rate reductions, deregulation, consumer based ground up growth.
