Explains the origin of this fucking republicunt tax bill.

Hillary would have made a great president, but she was not my first choice. I was hoping Warren would have. 

But she is right, where dems have failed is we only show up on social issues, and presidential elections. We need to speak out every day, and make it wallet issues every day. We need to vote every year too. 

The GOP has kicked our asses since Reagan, and their formula is simple, if you cant win on economic issues, cry "commie" or "persecution of Christians" and that allows the top to fleece workers of all states. GOP are masters at getting their supporters to vote against their own self interests.

I think that "you have to pay back your investors" was not only a recurrent theme in Warren's remarks, it's the basis of the American political system.

When these super-rich fucks make an investment they expect a return.  They used to try to be subtle about it but this is the Age of The WLB so the rules have changed.

Trickle-Down economics is basically a Reverse Robin Hood. Steal from the poor to give to the rich. And then hope that the rich decides to give some of it back. And when they don't, it's obviously because you didn't take enough from the poor.
