The Texas Populist

The Texas Populist is a blog designed to present the History and Political Philosophy behind the Populist nature of the United States.  It is the opinion of the author that the success and failure of a nation is based in the People.  A Democracy has to accommodate all people and their political will and the best way to achieve a consensus of what the "people" need and desire is to foster the ability of each group to express those needs and desires in an organized way. 

Today the people need a voice.  Their voice is filtered through media that are owned and run by people who a specific interest.  The people who work, be it in factories or in the fields, are the engines of production.  That is true whether it is in the supply of goods and services or the demand for goods and services. 

This in not in any way saying that the people who manage, finance, and own the Means of Production are not of a balanced importance.  It is to say that they are well capable of making their case for their needs and desires on their own.
