A populist is someone who fights for common sense economic policies that sustain and expand the middle class.

The Populist Caucus aims to bring people together around middle class issues, so we can tolerate a little difference of opinion.

The Populist Caucus is the only caucus in Congress devoted solely to addressing middle class economic issues. We formed the caucus because the founding members felt like there wasn't enough focus on middle class issues in Washington, and we're going to keep it focused on middle class issues.

We are not going back to the failed policies of the past. We are fighting for the middle class!

Today's tax cuts provide yet another illustration of the Republicans' fiscally irresponsible economic policies that ignore the needs of America's middle class, students, and working families.

Prior to 1940, the affluent and the middle class began to converge, but after 1979, the economic gap between the middle class and affluent widened significantly.
