Isn't it interesting that rather than addressing what Warren actually said, the only thing Ron Paul can do is strawman her argument ("to say that nobody is responsible for their success..."), falsely attack her character ("she knows nothing about the market"; she is a "demagogue" advocating "dictatorship"), and say that her ideas are the product of stupidity ("a reflection of the education system"). The idiot here - the real rambling demagogue - is Paul, not Warren.

@tehatemachine I am just summarizing his overall argument. He clearly points out this is class warfare, he clearly accuses Warren for being part of a movement to introduce fascism into America. You are clearly accusing my moral character rather than creating a legitimate argument on why I am wrong about Ron Paul being a demagogue. What gives you and Ron Paul the moral high ground then? Who's deceiving then?

[Cypressmyst]

Wow. I think this is quite possibly the stupidist thing I've ever heard come out of Ron Paul. I say we open the gates up and toss him to the wolves. He doesn't need community so let him be alone out there... I wasn't sure if I'd vote for him or not before but to say those things about Warren seals the deal. She is a classy lady and a fighter for the people. One less vote for RP.

Liz warren is such a pro tax commie.Dr Ron Paul 2012. 'nuff said

[InstantRebate]

Elizabeth Warren is nothing but a left wing, rich 1%-er and a big socialist, hypocrite. What a two faced Obama mouthpiece. If she gets elected to Massachusetts as a Senator, Massachuesetts will go from #5 in taxation and growth/unemployment to #3, behind New York and California. Your choice Massachusetts taxpayers.

Ron Paul is so stupid.

Either you've a serious reading problem or you're intentionally lying. I cannot find ANY instance in which she's said that, Daily Beast or otherwise, at ANY time period. In a Daily Beast interview, published 6 December 2009, she said, "I want to see Congress focus more on a credible system for liquidating the banks that are considered too big to fail".

You don't happen to work for FNC, do you?

@sperrico87

Your definition easily fits that of a corporation as well. Gov'ts and corporations are not persons, and therefore can't physically handle capital anyway. What they are is a contract under which people live & work. You sign the social contract by living under it, you sign a corporation's contract by working under it. You can always leave either willingly. That's not "forcibly transferring wealth", that's taking the money you owe and using it.

[Cr3Nietzsche3n]

Wasn't Elizabeth Warren the one saying, "banks are, just, too big to fail" (2009 interview with the Daily Beast)

Now she's on the side of the 99%- OWS- and decrying, in part, the vary actions she was advocating three years prior. LMFAO

@sperrico87 I wasn't even implying that people are "owed" a free education in that post, just that you owe the people who built your roads and your cars and your hospitals and so on.

And you know what? Education SHOULD be a right. How do you lessen inequality? How do you raise mobility? How do you diversify the economy? How do you, in pretty much every sense of the word, become a prosperous NATION? Top-tier, spare-no-expenses education.
