Dave Smith on the Reasons Behind the Recent Move Towards Populism

“They’re not making the country richer, they’re extracting wealth out of the rest of the population. Its all just extracted out. I mean literally the federal spending is extracting wealth out of people by taxing them and then spending it. Literally taking the money from people who work and giving it to politically connected people, and then the wall street money is just printing money and then making your dollar less valuable, so just in another way extracting wealth from the people.” -- Dave Smith
