One thing that’s notable about “populists” is that they are inconsistent on property rights. If Kevin were having a yard sale and some official came along and said, “Your price on that rocking chair is too high,” he’d rightly reply, “But it’s MY chair.” When big companies put a higher price than populists think is reasonable on their property, however, the reaction is furious indignation. How dare those greedy so and so’s charge more than I am used to paying for their product?!
