This was another great report. It contrasted real populism with the Tea-Party Corporate Serfdom Movement that FOX news networks calls populism. These people want to hand over our government "...of the people, for the people and by the people" to Corporate Lobbyists (including all the GOP) and further expand the Corporate Fuedalism the GOP are always working for. These people apparantly like being serfs to their Corporate Lords.

BARBARA KALBACH: And what we feel, is not that we want government completely out of our lives. And that's what the Tea Party people say. They say, well, we don't want government in our schools, and we don't want government making any health plans for us. And government's too big and it impacts our life. What we see is that government needs to impact people's lives in certain areas.
LARRY GINTER: The preamble of the constitution says promote the general welfare. Well, does that sound like a government that's hands off? That isn't involved into the overall well-being of everybody in this country? So this idea of get government out of my life- I don't know how that works. Because we're supposed to be a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. So how do I just take government out of my life? I am government!
