Wall Street Declares War on Warren

[gipper]

1st thing positive I've seen about Warren. I'm certainly on a side that's anti-Wall Street bankers.

Damn

Liz Warren would be Wall Streets biggest nightmare
She would hold them responsible

Stop being dupes. Warren is a fraud.

Hardly

Warren knows her shit.

She sure does. Like Ears she’s a fraud. Just another fake progressive.

Stop being dupes. Warren is a fraud.

I wouldn't disagree that we'd be replacing one fraud with another.

True enough. That is what we get to vote for election after election.

 

[gipper]

Yeah, it's not like Warren's gonna stop monetizing debt.

Agree with the gipper, all show in order to weaponize democracy at every stage of the game and on every channel 24/7.

Wall Street WANTS Warren to win. They know she will do their bidding just as Ears and Hillary did.

No offense, but that is the stupidest thing I've heard in a long, long time.

You live in a weird alternative universe, where up is down, wet is dry, east is west, and the Buccaneers are better than the Patriots. You have absolutely zero clue about what is happening in the real world.

Offense taken. I really dislike stupidity.

You are not informed. Allow me to get you informed.

Warren was a Reagan republican into her 40s.

“I was a Republican because I thought that those were the people who best supported markets. I think that is not true anymore,” Warren toldthe Daily Beast in 2011. “I was a Republican at a time when I felt like there was a problem that the markets were under a lot more strain. It worried me whether or not the government played too activist a role.”

Warren said she was Cherokee. You expect people to be she was a true Reagan supporter? Based on what, high cheek bones??

Do the research. She was an R into her mid-40s. She doesn’t deny it. It’s on the public record.

One thing I DO know about negative interest rates:

Any bank or institution that wants to charge for simply keeping anyone's money deserves the run that will drain away their deposits within hours if not mere minutes.

The Wall Street Campaign to Stop Elizabeth Warren Officially Began on September 10, 2019

"Yesterday, that Wall Street campaign officially began. CNBC’s Jim Cramer and David Faber discussed on TV how they are hearing from Wall Street bank executives that Warren must be stopped..."

Can you guess why Wall Street's trolls have a problem with Liz?

Bloomberg Knows:

"On the same day, September 10, 2019, Bloomberg News, which is majority owned by billionaire Michael Bloomberg, whose $52.4 billion net worth derives from leasing his data terminals to thousands of Wall Street trading floors around the globe, ran this headline: 'Richest Could Lose Hundreds of Billions Under Warren’s Wealth Tax.'

"Obviously, that wouldn’t sit too well with Michael Bloomberg, who has frequently penned his own OpEds for his financial news empire..."

"The opinion piece was titled 'Warren’s Assault on Retiree Wealth,' and was written by Phil Gramm and Mike Solon. Gramm is the former Republican Senator whose name appears on the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the legislation that repealed the Glass-Steagall Act."

"t was that repeal that allowed Wall Street’s casino investment banks to merge with commercial banks holding Federally-insured deposits.

"And it was this dangerous combo that led to the epic crash on Wall Street in 2008 and the ensuing economic collapse in the U.S. – the greatest collapse since the Great Depression."

There are economic events on the horizon (like negative interest rates) that pose a legitimate threat to savers and retirees; Liz Warren is not among them.

What Negative Interest Rates Mean For Your Retirement

So you want Warren for president?

So you want Warren for president?

Right now she's my second choice.

However, Warren appears to be trending in ways Bernie isn't doing yet, so I'll wait to see which one appears to have the best chance of burying Joe and the other corporate whores next summer.

Good for you, what "free stuff" are you hoping for.

Are you sure you want the answer to that loaded question?

A society free of land rents?

Mixed economies and monopoly | Michael Hudson

"The kind of 'mixed economy' envisioned by Adam Smith, John Stuart Mill and other classical 19th century free market economists aimed at saving the economy from land rent paid to Europe’s hereditary landlord class.

"Either the government would tax away the land’s rent, or would nationalize it by taking land out of the hands of landlords.

"The idea was to free markets from economic rent ('unearned income') in general, including monopoly rents, and also to subsidize basic needs to create a price-competitive national economy."

Yep
So It Wouldn't Have Mattered If Gore Or Kerry Had Been President
The Collapse Would Have Happened All The Same
It Just Happened To Be George

Nothing Has Been Put Back The Way It Was
So It'll Happen Again
And It Won't Matter Who The President Will Be

So Elect A Democrat To President
Give Them The Senate Too
Let Them Pick The Judges Like Them To Advance The Program
And See If We Can Recover Again
It Can't Keep On Forever

I don't fully understand the legalities of who "owns" the deposits in a bank. Is it the depositors or the bank?

Bail-Ins During Financial Crisis Helps Financial Institutions

"A bail-in provides relief to a financial institution on the brink of failure by requiring the cancellation of debts owed to creditors and depositors.

"A bail-in is the opposite of a bailout, which involves the rescue of a financial institution by external parties, typically governments, using taxpayers’ money for funding.

"Bailouts help to keep creditors from losses while bail-ins mandate creditors take losses."

 

[Mac1958]

"That’s because despite the pivotal role that derivatives played in deepening the epic financial collapse that began in 2008, derivatives have not been brought under control by either Congress or Federal regulators of Wall Street."

All other issues aside, it's nice to see a politician getting this.

Until this happens, we're pissing on a hornet's nest. Derivatives (and the various industry tactics that surrounded them) were the key component of the Meltdown.

Clamp down on derivatives, reinstate Glass Steagall. You'll massively decrease risk, you'll eliminate dangerous conflicts of interest, and you'll bring both stability and sanity back to Wall Street. And everyday banking.

Rino is a Reagan supporter? Reagan was not a McCain or Romney. I doubt Warren could be either even in name only.

I'm not sure all Democrats are created equal when it comes to addressing income/wealth inequality; Warren and Bernie seem to be the only candidates Wall Street are afraid of at this point?

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

"The top 15 richest Americans would have seen their net worth decline by more than half to $433.9 billion had Warren’s plan been in place since 1982, according to the paper by University of California, Berkeley professors Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman."

Professor Elizabeth Warren’s Pattern of Wall Street Hypocrisy

Attack Wall Street Executives Before Going on a “Charm Offensive” with Them to Land a Job

According To The New York Times, Warren’s “Charm Offensive” Included Meetings With The CEOs Of JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley And Others. “Elizabeth Warren’s charm campaign made a stop in enemy territory on Wednesday. Ms. Warren, the Obama administration official who is overseeing the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, brought her calls for tough regulation to the Chamber of Commerce, a ferocious opponent of regulation – and the bureau itself. But you wouldn’t know from her remarks that she had stepped into the lion’s den. Ms. Warren, in a speech to the chamber’s Capital Markets Summit on Wednesday morning, trod lightly on the bureau’s plans to regulate Wall Street. She instead played to her audience, saying the bureau would ease some burdensome regulations.”

Elizabeth Warren: “I do have donors on Wall Street…” - American Crossroads


Warren’s Top Donors Include Individuals From Firms That Represent Corporations
Received hundreds of thousands of dollars from individuals in securities and investments; Wall Street lawyers

Warren has long positioned herself as a blue-collar champion who takes on corporations and Wall Street interests, leading some to question how she can back Hillary Clinton. Clinton has collected $32 million from the securities and investment industry this election cycle, the most of any industry, on top of the $15 million the industry gave to her campaign for U.S. senator and the millions the Clintons have pocketed from their six-figure speeches to Wall Street.

Warren isn’t free from the industry either. Since she ran for Congress in 2011, she has collected more than $630,000 from individuals in the securities and investment industry, making it the sixth highest industry in political donations to her campaigns.

Warren also has received major backing from lawyers and law firms that represent Wall Street interests. $2.3 million in contributions have poured from the sector to her campaign’s coffers, the second most of any industry only behind those who are retired.

Individuals who work at law firms that are in her top 15 donors provide services to financial institutions and corporations that deal with bankruptcy, corporate restructuring, securities litigation, and white-collar crime.

lol dumbass PR gimmick rubbish, trying to paint Warren as some sort of 'anti-Wall Street rebel n stuff', timed to come out before the fake 'debate' coming up. It's laughable nonsense, same stupid shit Obama pulled, and he was one of Wall Street's biggest stooges ever, drowned in Wall Street cash. It's called 'Image Building 101', and it works on dope addled tards and hopeless fashion victims.

As you can see in this thread, Trump's uneducated base is trying to demonize Wall Street by making up bizarre shit about left-wingers being tied to the financial community.

They are so desperate, uneducated and consumed by hate that they think the group most hated by the left is actually in bed with the left. They have to find scapegoats for their failures.

It's hilarious that they are so dumb.

So are you saying that Wall Street hates or loves Democrats? I can tell you that outside of Wall Street and the big cities, working Americans, even upper class working Americans, tend to favor Presidents who support Wall Street, because ultimately that helps them. Many super elites(so much money their idelogy can trump reason and they can still be ultra-wealty...makes them feel good aobut themselves), and non-working and low to no-income Americans not so much. The amount of red on the map says it all.

You need to remove yourself from NYC. It is big group-think. Very little original thought when it comes to politics.

Finance has assumed such a large presence in the US economy over that past half-century that the industry could collapse GDP if government ever threatened to close their casino.

If speculative capital is withdrawn from the economy in response to government regulation and a recession results, government will almost certainly get the blame.

Well, it would depend on the makeup of Congress, I'd think.

Right now, under these absurd conditions, a President may have to legislate by EO only.

We're not allowed to collaborate or innovate any more, so all we can do is creep along.

I think this could be done without too much disruption to the economy at all.

It would immediately open up the playing field to all kinds of new competition.

I also think that markets know that, without saying it.
