Warren is unelectable so this thread is a complete waste of time.

That's what they said in Boston, that a woman cant get elected statewide

The Great Recession was caused by the Troglocrats quest for equal home ownership

Wouldn't Sanders do it better and with more ruthlessness for the radical edge of the democrat party? Why pick a faux Indian?

brothers and sisters: if individual CEOs or Wall Street traders actually add $30 million to the economy with their work, then we have additional output that corresponds to their $30 million annual income. They but if they add less than $30 million, then their income comes to some extent at the expense of the rest of us.

In the extreme case, where the highly paid CEO or Wall Street trader adds nothing to the economy’s output, they are in an identical situation to a counterfeiter or Ponzi Schemer. Their income is a pure drain on the economy, which must come out of the pockets of the rest of us

we cant let that happen anymore, my friends!

Awww stop crying. Its fucking embarrassing.

Why the FUCK do you care what some businessman makes? Its none of your goddamned business what someone else makes. Live your own life and keep your fucking nose out of others.

Asshole

pushing down the incomes of the rich is not a question of vindictiveness, but it is a necessary condition for creating the possibility of broadly based wage growth, my friends

i'm happy to concede the point, Bernie is also for a wealth tax.

Andrew Yang is against it, and its important for voters to know that, folks!

The fight against "inequality" is subversive, stupid, and dangerous. Even worse, Senator Warren - who is not stupid - knows the folly of the inequality battle, but she presumes that her followers are too stupid to fathom basic economic realities.

The basic premise of the "inequality" scourge is that (a) some people are too poor, and (b) some people are too rich, and it stands on the ridiculous, provably-false notion that the Economy is a fixed pot of money/wealth, so that if some people have "too much," then of necessity some other people will have "too little." But this is demonstrably false.

Take an Amish furniture maker. He takes a tree that has no economic value. He takes it to the saw mill where it is cut up into boards that are worth $50, then takes them to his shop and makes a table and chairs worth $500. He has created wealth. Multiply this by millions of productive activities that go on every day. Restaurants take basic ingredients and convert them to meals worth many times the value of the ingredients. Steel mills take iron ore, coke, and limestone and make steel Manufacturers take materials and components and convert them to valuable machines or devices. Software designers take IDEAS and produce software and games that are worth millions. Hence, the economy is expanding all the time. The pot of money is infinitely flexible.

And the wealthy become so as a result of large numbers of voluntary transactions where BOTH parties see themselves benefiting from the sale. When you spend $100 to buy a Microsoft Office package, Bill Gates becomes a tiny bit richer and so do you, because the software is worth more to you than the $100 that you paid. Otherwise, you wouldn't buy it.

Unless the money is stolen, earning money is a good thing, and you CANNOT BE TOO RICH.

On the other hand, endemic, crushing poverty IS A PROBLEM. It's a problem that everyone could agree is worth fighting. We might differ on how to fight poverty, but everyone could agree that it is worth fighting. When you focus on "inequality," it distracts attention from the real problem, creates envy and disenchantment where those emotions are pointless, even harmful.

Any politician who promises to fight inequality is a fraud. THey are not that stupid, but they thing you are.

A basic point of economic theory that economists don’t like to talk about is that reducing the rents going to a high-income person is a gain for the rest of us. This is a crucial point, since it is necessary to recognize that policies designed to reduce the incomes of high-end earners are not just a matter of being gratuitously nasty to those who were lucky enough to be successful. Whether or not these policies are nasty, it is important to recognize that the money enjoyed by these high-end earners comes from somewhere; it is not manna from heaven. And where it comes from is the pockets of the rest of us

The defenders of the status quo benefit enormously, but regular folks not so much

a shift in the profit share back to pre-recession levels as a result of tighter labor markets would certainly be good news for ordinary workers. that's why we need to vote for Warren.

Here's a little exercise I like to give to my leftist friends like yourself.

Everytime you call for higher taxes instead of saying "Tax the rich" substitute "Give more money to the politicians" because that is exactly what it is. Taxes go to the federal government and the politicians control the money. Try this little exercise my friend and let us know the results.

Socialists Murder People in the name of Equity.

Hitler killed 20 Million
Stalin killed 60 Million
Mao Killed 100 million.
Democrats killed 60 Million babies so far
And Warren and her comrades will kill more than all of them Combined.

After all they promised us Gulags and Concentration Camps and The Guillotine!

What is the point? Sanders has been around for thirty years. Does Warren put a prettier face on the harsh reality of socialism?

Warren was a registered Republican until 1996. She is a capitalist. “I love what markets can do,” she said. “They are what make us rich, they are what create opportunity.”

Crazy Bernie is an unrepentant commie!

You've gone full on stupid.

Not only will she ruin the economy, she'll destroy any attempts it makes to recover.

Warren is an opportunist. She writes a bankruptcy law. She then advises companies how to address it. She get's paid 350 K (yes that is 350,000) to teach a single class on it.

But she's out for the average guy.

Please nominate her. Trump will destroy her.

I think you should cut back on the drugs.
