"The corporations don’t have to lobby the government anymore. They are the government." ― Jim Hightower Topic(s): Government More From Jim Hightower "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." "Politics isn’t about left versus right; it’s about top versus bottom." "When I entered politics, I took the only downward turn you could take from journalism."

Kristof "Urban America has been redlined. Government has not offered tax incentives for investment, as it has in a dozen foreign markets. Banks have redlined it. Industries have moved out, they’ve redlined it. Clearly, to break up the redlining process, there must be incentives to green-line with hedges against risk."― Jesse Jackson "I believe that government is the servant of the people and not their master."― David Rockefeller
