    Stop helping the upper class with tax cuts and giving them power that belongs to the people.

    The average person who watches CNN does. And despite what the Fascists say, CNN is a centrist station with a fence-sitter audience.

    The "people" pay little or no federal income taxes; they are paid by the upper class. How does making the upper class pay more taxes give any power to the people? The power of the people is in elections--they just need to get out and vote.

    He was even on Fox a bunch of times.

    I actually do like West for his consistency. I just think he needs to stop purity spiraling.
