power to the people

I read this on CNN this morning, and it made me so excited for my fellow middle-classers:

Main Street Turns Against Wall Street--A populist backlash is changing America's political climate. Inflamed by the financial crisis and bailouts, a form of class warfare could haunt business leaders for years to come.

good article. I saw him say this on TV and respected him for standing up and saying this. He looked so pissed too, i loved it

And populism isn't limited to the Democrats. Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, a runner-up in the Republican primary, responded to Paulson's $700 billion rescue plan with this blog posting: 'I'm disappointed and disgusted with my own Republican Party as I watch them attempt to strong-arm a bailout of some of America's biggest corporations by asking taxpayers to suck up the staggering results of the hubris, greed, and arrogance of those who sought to make a quick buck by throwing the dice.' (Hey, Huck, tell us what you really think.)

what i loved about the article was that it's totally bipartisan. it's not about dem vs. rep. it's about people getting sick of being controlled by fat cats
