Gore the populist or Gore the DC Hack?

He ran in 2000 as a populist, so Gore the populist.

Only some of the time...

Gore is a natural populist... but he just didn't play the populist enough in 2000
Had he done so (ie: in the debates) he would have won WV and probably Tennessee as well...

Tax Cuts only seem to help in the short term... Thatcher's tax cutting and manic de-regulation in the '80's actually weakend the UK's economy (3 million on the dole and so on).
Although the fact that she wasted the North Sea Oil money on attempting to balance the budget (looking fiscally responsible was needed to get re-elected) can't of helped...
The UK got a few boom years in the mid-late '80's, before the bust in the late 80's-early 90's.

Calling Jim Callaghan a "loony socialist" is a bit off...
But the total revenue taken from tax is actually higher now than it was in 1979... More people get stuck in higher income tax bands... (cunning, eh?)

I'm all to cognizant of the violent tendencies of leftists and the poor - think I'll skip that.

The Rhondda is both poor and leftist
