I probably should have said grabbing control back to themselves from the rich. Grabbing money from the rich is progressivism and Marxism,but taking control of ones destiny is populist conservatism. Thank you for the critique.

OK, but I still don’t believe in any philosophy that creates an us vs. them between the “rich” and whoever is the non-rich. Even the dictionary definition of populism attacks the wealthy. Conservative or libertarian ideology doesn’t send negative vibes out about the rich. It says that everybody should have the freedom to get rich. The idea of taking something back from the “rich” seems to imply that the rich have taken something from us to get where they are. And that just sounds like Sanders to me. The old idea that there’s a single pie and the rich are hoarding up a big part of it, which just isn’t how economics works.
