Sun Magazine has Jim Hightower
The Sun Magazine had an interesting article ("Thieves in High Places", Jim Hightower..below is a part I really agree with:
“The problem with developing a progressive movement is that we’re not a unified, march in step sort of people. What I’ve found in my travels is that we have all the elements of a progressive movement in place in this country, but the elements don’t know each other: they’re not connected. So why not give people a reason to get together?”
“It is simply cheaper for some US chemical companies to let the occasional worker get blown up than to adopt the same safety precautions companies follow in germany, japan, and elsewhere.”
“I think the democratic party and liberals in general make a mistake in not reaching out to small businesses and entrepreneurs. Yes, small businesses can be small minded, but they have an extraordinary amount in common with progressives, not just in terms of issues, but in terms of philosophy and culture as well.”
