Populism, populism, populism?
Oregon approves a significant tax increase:
Excellent!
TV commentators this morning are calling this an anti-populist movement. Chuck Todd: "Everybody talks about populism, populism, populism, but this shows that other factors are now in play."
No, you fucking idiot.
Populism emphatically does not mean hatred of taxes.
"Zero tax" is the complete total solitary platform of the Republican Party, which wants to reshape the government of this unfortunate land into a more Haitian form so that billionaire Jew gangsters can own and run everything. (The Democratic Establishment wants the same goal but describes it less honestly.)
A Populist believes something quite different. A Populist believes that the government of America should serve the people of America, not the interests of Dubai, not the interests of China, not the interests of billionaire Jew gangsters. When the people of America are best served by decreasing taxes, you decrease taxes. When the people of America are best served by increasing taxes, you increase taxes. And the present situation falls into the latter category.
See how simple it is? You just need to understand that a number can go either up or down. ¶ 6:35 AM
Oregon voters have approved two measures raising taxes on businesses and the wealthy, averting budget cuts legislators said would have meant larger classes in the schools and less help for the poor and the elderly.
Voters in Tuesday's special election approved Measure 66, which raises rates on people earning well above six figures, and Measure 67, which increases business taxes.
Excellent!
