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.

Well you have another good point. But the rich and powerful often control others. Look at the elites now.

We are in revolt. We want our freedom to pursue our happiness in freedom from control by others.

The line is always thin between true populism and socialism and progressives. Thanks.
