This is a really important point. As we glory in dunking on dumb old Grover, we must remember that he was probably *the most important and influential Republican operative* of the 1990s. He was a key agenda setter and "idea guy" for the GOP in the ages of Gingrich and W.
Grover's "billionaires are the new slaves" schtick is of course absurd...and it was also pretty much GOP dogma for much of my adult life. Grover is not speaking for some bizarro fringe element within the GOP, he basically ran the GOP in DC from behind the scenes for decades.
