WARREN: "There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody." Updated at 4:48 PM
My favorite part of looking at this hole, we got in this hole, one billion dollars, uh, one trillion dollars, on tax cuts for the rich under George Bush. We got into this hole two trillion dollars on two wars that were put on a credit card for our children and grandchildren to pay off. And we got into this hole one trillion on a Medicare drug program that was not paid for and was 40% more expensive than its needs to be because it was a giveaway to the drug companies. That's just four trillion right there.
So part of the way you fix this problem is don't do those things!
I hear all this, oh this is class warfare, no! There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory out there -- good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid forYou didn't have to worry that maurauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory... Now look. You built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea -- God Bless! Keep a Big Hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x1973766The DUmmies act like the factory worker just fell off a turnip truck, found a stash of cash and built a factory, then rolled around naked in dollar bills on his bed.
What Elizabeth didn't mention is, the factory owner paid taxes before he ran the factory, then as he was building the factory on every step of the way he paid taxes on that, then when the factory opened he paid even more taxes. They act like the rich are getting EITC or something.

91. Elizabeth Warren comes from a pretty normal midwestern background.
She didn't learn what she knows at Harvard. She brought life experience with her to Harvard.
She is a natural campaigner.
I would think if she had real life experience then she wouldn't be spouting such bullshit.

vote for her in a heartbeat. She's smart and I want my President smart, not a dumbass cowboy.
That dumbass cowboy is running a state where most of the jobs have been created lately, what has she done that has created any jobs?
