“I hear all this, you know, ‘Well, this is class warfare, this is whatever. No. There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own — nobody," Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts) said.
Warren is running for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in Massachusetts. Warren hopes to face off with Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) in the general election.

Typical lib scowl too...one wonders if they all put the same mask on when photographed or if it is just in their DNA.
@ Post #5. You nailed it with one photo and two words.
Sincere Kudos and a nomination for a Freepie or whatever we should give around here. :)
I posted that on a Warren thread yesterday and today about 3 or 4 other Freepers were posting the same thing and pinging me. I have never seen anything go viral on FR before.
Feel free to stick that in any Warren thread you please. It’s funny and really makes a valuable point about these Marxists.
bfl
It should go viral. Perfect response to her statement and the mentality of progressives. These parasitic cheerleaders are ruining this nation and my children’s future.
This ignoramus Communist in sheep’s clothing has no clue what this country is all about. Hardworking people such as my parents paid “THEIR FAIR SHARE” to be here and help build this country by building a business and putting people to work so they wouldn’t become parasites of the state which she is enamored with, and in the process of hard work and sacrifice and generosity of their spirit and giving back to their adopted country by their very example and integrity became prosperous and successful AMERICANS.
What is she after??? What more does her type want??? She has contempt for the very idea of America. She wants a Communist plantation.
Contempt is all we can have for these treasonous legacy (born and pampered here) Americans.
It would be a good argument...if the rich paid NO taxes or if anyone were actually arguing that the rich should pay no taxes.
Don’t minimum wage employees also benefit from roads and protection from marauding bands? Is that an argument to start raising their taxes?
This argument could be use to justify ANY expansion of government.
Think you should be able to make decisions for your family...well you wouldn’t have such a nice family if you had to fight off marauding bands!
Think you have a right to freely practice your religion...well you wouldn’t be able to worship if your church were beset by marauding bands!
This is exactly the way totalitarian regimes think.
I have worked all my life, never inherited anything.
I am constantly concerned Obama/Pelosi/Reid/Red Herring etc. will loot my IRA.
I would be too. The Regime is constantly looking for backdoor ways to get at all that retirement money.
“I hear all this, you know, ‘Well, this is class warfare, this is whatever." 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 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 for.
You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory and hire someone protect against this because of the work the rest of us did.
Your built a factory and it turned out to be something terrific or a great idea - God bless. Keep a big hunk of it.
But part of the underlying social contract is you that take a hunk of it and pay forward for the next kid who comes along!You're right, Liz, nobody did - including you! All your Mother's milk, all the education you got - the fact that you weren't raped and murdered long before this, it's none of your doing. So by your logic, we own you! If we decide you get to eat something, be grateful and shut your trap, you insignificant slave!
That's not what you had in mind, I know - you are much more important than to have your value judged arbitrarily, as you arrogantly choose to do to us. But you see, Liz, America already had a social contract before your grandfather was a gleam in your great-grandfather's eye. We had the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and - yes, we had the Bible. Under that social contract, your grandfather, your father, and you were given all the things that you say that you can command from us. Well, we expect to give it, all right - but not at your command and not in the way that pleases and flatters you.We're doing more than you can think to command, and the only thing that's "wrong" about it is that you don't get the credit for it.We're doing more than you can think to command, because of love.
If you get into a position where you think you can command gifts, gifts become impossible and the value is drained out of the effort.
Ma has chosen “slave”.
And now they talk down to me to say how enlightened this makes them.
So what do I say to that?
Disagree.
I think she's saying it because she .believes it.
Warren is a full-blown Marxist bitch -- who hates capitalism and everybody who ever made a buck from it. Meaning most Americans...
She is the face -- and voice -- of the enemy.
Stupid comment from a liberal socialist rat....who’d a thunk it.....;o)
