If you think Garyeconmics is a populist you do not know what populism is.
Populism is when you substitute greviences in place of policy. If you want to tax the rich because you believe economic inequality is bad and can be addressed through such you are not a populist. If you want to tax the rich cause you want to larp the french revolution and dehumanize people for having money then you are a populist.
If you are aggrieved at the idea of a wealth tax in the rich
1: Self report

Wynton Marsalis a Pulitzer prize winning Jazz legend who knows more about populism then any of you, (just look up the album "The Ever Fonky Lowdown") describes populism more or less as such.
You get someone to start a fight in a store and promise them half, while you run out with all the money and they get all the jail time.
I mean look at how many people got conned by Gram Platner.
