"Politics isn’t about left versus right; it’s about top versus bottom." ― Jim Hightower Topic(s): Politics More From Jim Hightower "The corporations don’t have to lobby the government anymore. They are the government." "Populism is not a style, it’s a people’s rebellion against the iron grip that big corporations have on our country – including our economy, government, media, and environment." "This is a matter of public health. The public was sick and tired of DeLay and his corruption." More In Politics "Since the governments are in the pockets of businesses, who’s going to control this most powerful institution? Business is more powerful than politics, and it’s more powerful than religion. So it’s going to have to be the vigilante consumer."― Anita Roddick "I’ve always said that in politics, your enemies can’t hurt you, but your friends will kill you."― Ann Richards "Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief."― Marcus Tullius Cicero
