'''Liberal Populism''' is a combination of liberalism with populism which results in a highly democratic ideology it is often used to combat far-left and far-right populists in order to support and liberal democracy. It tends to be progressive and calls for fixing the tax system to be harsher for the rich and gentler for the poor while also supporting moving the tax base either onto land via a Land Value Tax or onto assets with a wealth tax rather than taxing working people's incomes. Historically it has been very agrarian with support the the radical wing of the UK Liberal Party and the Jeffersonian (and later Bryanite) wing(s) of the Democratic Party in the USA, this is because small farmers are an example of working people who own their own land and business. However, despite their progressivism in land & tax reform the ideology is staunchly capitalistic so may support privatisation and the use of voucher systems instead of state control. |
