The Economics of Leftist Populism

The article discusses how Democratic policies, often associated with a "woke" agenda, benefit large corporations while negatively affecting small businesses and independence in America.

1. Democratic Policies Favor Big Corporations: These policies push for regulations that burden small businesses, leading to economic dependency on government aid, while larger companies can absorb and adapt to these regulations more easily.

2. Impact of Over-Regulation: Increased taxes and regulations disproportionately harm small businesses, which rely on limited revenue and struggle to remain competitive, often resulting in bankruptcy.

3. Democratic Constituencies: The Democratic Party appeals to three key groups: government workers, low-income households receiving government assistance, and mid to large-size business owners who benefit from government subsidies.

4. Market Consolidation: Large corporations have embraced government-driven agendas, using them to eliminate competition from smaller firms, ensuring their profitability through subsidies.

5. Contrast with MAGA: Despite criticism from the media regarding the MAGA movement, it includes innovators who aim to reduce government size rather than expand it, emphasizing a shift away from traditional labels like socialism or corporatism.

Understanding the dynamics between government regulations, corporate interests, and small businesses is crucial as they shape America's political landscape. The article warns against the potential dangers of this shift and calls for an appeal to productive citizens to address these issues.
