Editorial:

Jim Cullen: Taking Back Congress--Then What? With the Republican congressional leadership pushing a legislative agenda that cuts health and welfare benefits for the middle class as well as the poor, Democrats are regaining confidence that they can pick up the 17 seats they need to regain control of the House. But Progressive Populist Editor Jim Cullen finds that some union members and progressive Democrats are wondering if the Democrats will return to their working-class roots or simply take the populist line until after the election.
Charles Levendosky: The Great Land Grab of 1995. Agribusiness interests invested more than $1.1 million to the campaigns of seven U.S senators and 10 representatives who are sponsoring legislation to transfer to the states control of 270 million acres of public land administered by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. Levendosky, editorial page editor of the Casper, Wyoming, Star-Tribune warns that states can then sell the land to agribusinesses. "Only the most naive think that former BLM land will remain public domain once state legislators get their hands on it."
Carol Countryman: In the first of her "Tales from East Texas," called "White Trash, Liberal and Proud," writer and freelance troublemaker Carol Countryman outlines the challenges facing the last remaining liberal feminist in Henderson County.
Art Cullen: Glickman Willing to Fight Over Pork. In an interview with Art Cullen, editor of the Storm Lake, Iowa, Times and managing editor of the Progressive Populist, U.S. Secretary Dan Glickman says he is willing to fight meatpackers to break up the "vertical integration" of the pork industry, which places producers at the mercy of a few packing houses.
A Call to Hope and Action, by Ronnie Dugger
Ronnie Dugger: Altered State. In this reprint from the August 14/21 issue of The Nation, the founding editor of The Texas Observer (and contributing editor of the Progressive Populist) calls for formation of a populist movement and proposes his own progressive populist agenda.
Sen. Tom Harkin: "Why I Am a Progressive Populist." Harkin, the Democratic senator from Iowa, replies to critics who say the Democrats must change in order to win back the majority of Congress. "The Democratic agenda remains rooted in the progressive-populist tradition that has made the party strong and the country even stronger ... Now is not the time to retreat--it is the time to redouble our commitment to our progressive traditions and fight even harder."
Peter Montague: Conservative Principles. Montague, editor of Rachel's Environment and Health Weekly, notes that so-called "conservatives" in Congress recently managed to gut nearly two dozen environmental laws and regulations and slashed the budget of the Environmental Protection Agency by 30 percent. But Gordon Durnil, a longtime Republican whom George Bush appointed in 1989 as Chairman of the International Joint Commission on water quality in the Great Lakes in the book The Making of a Conservative Environmentalist, came to the conclusion after studying the facts that putting our children in harm's way by exposing them to industrial chemicals was dangerous and immoral and ought to stop. Durnil sees it as a basic conservative tenet that an invasion of our bodies by toxics is a fundamental violation of a most basic right.
Freelance: A bill for the big farmers/
Proud to be fossil patriots from Kansas (see below).
Art Cullen: One Farmer Tilts at Windmills. Art Cullen reports on a northwest Iowa farmer and rural county commissioner who is willing to buck the movement toward expansion of mammoth pock feeding operations that threaten not only air and water quality but also a way of life.
James McCarty Yeager: Class, Race and Warfare in 1996. "Consider a few of the dismal facts describing the current distribution of the goods of the American economic empire: Corporate chieftains earned 149 times as much as the average worker in 1993. One B-2 bomber costs as much as 30,000 college educations. The official black unemployment rate is twice that of the white population. And 10 percent of the population owns 70 percent of the national wealth. If this is healthy, what would cancerous look like?"
Art Cullen: Travelling the Gravel Road of the Info Superhighway. Storm Lake, Iowa, Police Chief Mark Prosser would like to send pictures of criminals and missing persons electronically to other law enforcement agencies for immediate response. But he can't. Buena Vista University Computer Center Director Joe Traylor would like to reach out in this rural town of 9,000 via telephone lines for expanded communications. But he can't. High-speed telecommunications services that are available now in Omaha for as little as $30 a month won't be offered here for the "foreseeable future," says a phone company spokeswoman. Whether it's roads or phone lines, the chicken-egg scenario is seen: We don't have enough people to make it pay, and without the infrastructure we won't have enough people.
Ralph Nader, In the Public Interest: Corporate Welfare is Booming. Remember that brief dustup during the 1992 Presidential campaign about how little in federal taxes that foreign companies pay because of all the ways they can maneuver their books and engage in pricing transfers to artificially increase their costs in the U.S. The estimates of taxes they should have paid ranged from $3 billion a year to seven times that number. Well, nothing has been done about this problem since. Neither Gingrich, nor Dole nor Clinton have dealt with this issue or related tax loopholes for corporations. So Taxwatch, a broad coalition of environmental, community, consumer and religious organizations sent Congress a list of 12 corporate tax breaks and loopholes, totalling $91.1 billion over five years, which the coalition believed should be ended.
Richard Rothstein: The Minimum Wage and Pocket Change. Republicans and their small-business supporters have always hated the minimum wage--House Majority Leader Richard Armey vows to fight minimum wage increases "with every fiber of my being." So why does the Republican budget also cut the Earned Income Tax Credit, which is supposed to ease the burden on the working poor?
Hal Crowther: Waiting for the Visigoths. Most American voters not only fail to understand the connection between economics and politics, they fail to acknowledge that one exists. Taught for generations to despise Karl Marx and everything he stood for, they have refused to learn the simple Marxist precept that illuminates history better than anything else political science has devised: An unequal distribution of wealth divides a society into classes, and class interests determine everything else. Sometimes this class blindness, this economic blindness, is simply staggering. At its worst, the American public acts like a quarter of a billion blind mice, mutant mice who circle around the purring candidates every election and deny that these are cats.
Book Review: Todd Basch: Another Populist Moment? "Is the language of populism, continually renewed to chill a fresh elite and warm a fresh array of ordinary folk, still the language we need?" Todd Bash compares Michael Kazin's The Populist Persuasion with Lawrence Goodwyn's 1978 edition of the Populist Moment: A Short History of the Agrarian Revolt in America.
Media Beat: Jeff Cohen and Norman Solomon: The Union-Busting States of America? Think back about a dozen years to when President Reagan waxed eloquent about the right of workers in Poland to form unions. That was then. Today, most U.S. media are quiet about another country where the right to organize unions has virtually disappeared. It's a country where workers are often spied on, threatened or fired when they try to launch unions. It's a country known as the United States of America--or perhaps that should be "the Union-busting States of America."
A.V. Krebs: Populism: Born, Bred in Agrarian Revolt. While rural America and the family farming community in particular has always allied itself traditionally with ideals of agrarian populism and Jeffersonian democracy, it frequently is left out of the equation when "liberals" talk about fundamental political and economic reform. Some of that wrong-headed thinking can be simply attributed to urban liberal myopia, but also it happens because "farmers" are looked upon (all too often by the "liberal establishment") as part of the problem, rather than being, as history records, usually the first and hardest-hit victims of corporate oppression. But family farmers should not be ignored for the insight and leadership they can and should provide in this future populist struggle.
Dan Yurman: Autumn Winds Chill Militias. In Idaho it's time to come down from the high country. Snow levels will soon descend below 7,500 feet. As September temperatures in the Snake River Valley plunge overnight into the 40s, it's also time to consider what the warm months of summer brought us. Mostly, what summer brought was hot air, media foolishness traditionally associated with the "dog days" of August, and some interesting public responses to militia initiatives.
Laura McClure: AFL-CIO: A Revolution of Degrees. Some union activists are more hopeful than others about the changes AFL-CIO President-elect John Sweeney's administration might bring to the labor movement. But the hard job of rebuilding the labor movement remains in the hands of people we don't read about in the papers, the thousands of union members and officers who are trying every day to democratize and enliven their unions.
Jesse Jackson: Class War in the Foxhole. The huge and growing gulf between rich speculator and workers in paycheck poverty is not an act of nature, nor the inevitable result of a global economy. This gulf comes from power. What has happened in America over the past 20 years is that the power of organized money has grown and the power of organized people has declined. A new popular movement is needed to revive labor unions, to rouse the unorganized, to galvanize working people, and to take back the Democratic Party or launch a new one.
Molly Ivins: For Whom Are They Balancing the Budget? We keep saying we have to balance the budget so we won't pass this dreadful debt on to our children, but what we are doing is destroying our children's ability to get anywhere. The Republicans are cutting student loans and job-training programs. We're sacrificing young people so the rich can get even richer.
Free Lance: Nothing in Life, Especially the Press, is Free (see below).
Eugene McCarthy: The Caesarian Solution. If it is unfair to pass the national debt onto the next generation, McCarthy wonders, why not tax the past generations that built up the debt and profited by it? A capital levy, phased in and related to capital gains taxes, should be imposed so as to collect $5 trillion dollars to apply on the debt. It could incorporate a holding period before imposing the tax, providing for some graduation of taxes within the range of differences among the top 10 percent of wealth owners. This would not be a redistribution of wealth, but rather a redistribution of debt.
