The Little Guy
The little guy isn't a curse word. The "little guy"
is everybody who isn't actively engaged in userping government authority for their own personal gain. "The little guy" is someone who works for a living instead of living off investment gains driven by inflationary government spending. "The little guy" questions the sanity of constant war and death.
"The little guy" questions the sanity of driving manufacturing out of the country to drive corporate profits and then lamenting the fact that we can't even manufacture high end chips or munitions necessary for legitimate national security.
And the idea that we might advocate policies that democrats advocated 30 or 40 years ago doesn't bother me.
Thirty years ago, it was a Republican congress that passed NAFTA.
Twenty four years ago it was a Republican Congess that granted ChIna most favored nation trade status.
GOP "traditional conservatives" have had control of our government half the time for the last 50 years.
Here is what they did with that power.
Raised the debt from 300 billion to 34 trillion.
Took us off the gold standard.
Opened China and exported all decent
manufacturing job there.
Started and lost multiple wars.
Tolerated open borders and collaborated on amnesty after amnesty.
Entered into trade agreements and cheered on the giant sucking sound.
This is a terrible record. Yet even so, you "traditional GOP conservatives" resent populists who bare no responsibility for all the misery you have caused.
You own this mess. This is your mess. The "little guys" suffered greatly for your mess while your donors have done quite well.
