What a waspy way of expressing the crab mentality that's kept investors out of inner-city neighborhoods and compelled those neighborhoods’ highest achievers to flee them for generations. Warren’s taking it national only because such rhetoric is a proven way to win elections, on account of the economic ignorance of the general public. She’s disgustingly greedy for power. Her supporters need to read Sowell's Basic Economics. They're ignorant as hell.

These Occupiers are crabs; with adBuster's "99%" rubber bands around the claws they have for brains, so they won't think individually and start eating each other alive cuz, obviously, without those restraints, they'd all just be individually hating everyone who makes more money than they personally do. Like the 4% just under the top 1% are any more virtuous, right? LOL The rubber bands are for safe-handling the fucking dolts so ruling-elite socialists like Warren can eat them for a power lunch.

"On fair taxation" she says YOU/YOUR 11 times and "THE REST OF US" 4 times.

In a single 2 minute segment it is obvious Warren has no desire to bring anybody together.

@1350chaucer Lack of social mobility has nothing to do with taxes or regulation.

In 1950-1970 the entire world was relatively poor compared to the USA. Commodities were cheap for this reason. Lack of developments in technology made outsourcing logically impossible.

Present day: The entire world is as competitive as we are, technology allows people half way around the world to collaborate, and those people formally surviving on 20c/day now want steak and potatoes just like us.

@FranticSelf >>all paid for by the government, by the people's tax dollars<<

But the people only earned their tax dollars from jobs created by business owners. They would be unemployed otherwise and the government would be on the hook for finding jobs for all those people--with fewer tax payers to fund those jobs. Factory owners are owed a huge debt for shouldering all the risk and expense of creating all those taxpaying jobs. The factory owners don't owe government a goddam thing more.

@fiveinslide6 None of what she said is innacurate. Roads, Police, Schooling were all paid for by the government, by the people's tax dollars

Social mobility in this country has trended down with every tax cut and deregulation over the past 30 years. Still, some people would have us believe the reasons those policies aren't working is that we haven't gone far enough in our tax cuts and deregulation. They just won't rest until a chosen few lives behind wrought-iron gates, while everyone else lies awake at night wondering how to pay the kid's medical bills.

Warren makes excellent points, no matter the unoriginal insults hurled at her.

SO by her rationale, people who are less of a burden on government should pay less in taxes? According to her rant, if taken literally, employers who hire employees who were educated at private rather than public schools should pay less in taxes. Is that right? Or is she just assuming based on ??? that the more people earn in income the more government resources they consume?

Every dollar earned in this country should be taxed identically (w/ no deductions). Truly the only fair system.

@godwhatafatty yeah, technical school is great if you can't read.

@littledebrarae You are currently writing this comment because of government assistance.

[emantabrizi]

@littledebrarae ... Do you have employees?

[luvmedo56]

@emantabrizi >>Have you never heard of the police?<<

Yep. When seconds count, the police can be there in minutes...
