We can pretty much expect this to be the essence of EW's speech at the DNC later in NC.
We all know EW and BHO have the same view - One does not own one's personal wealth/success, 'it' needs to be spread around by our betters. So there is this 'level playing field'.
Here is the question, if EW and Libs like her really want to close the tax loopholes, why don't they try a novel approach: abolish the current tax codes, greatly reduce the IRS and 'armies of lobbyists', and propose a flat tax instead?

I actually agree with Warren on one point. Those with money and influence generally benefit from ties to government.
However, the solution to that problem is to reduce the size and scope of government and therefore its ability to respond favorably to those with undue influence over it, and the way to accomplish that goal decidedly does not include electing people like Elizabeth Warren.

Actually the point at which a big business can hamstring its smaller competitors comes when it becomes big enough to afford K Street lobbying to bribe corrupt members of Congress into passing special legislation to throw tacks in the rear view mirror. But there are a whole lotta DEMOCRATS tapping THAT cash stream.

If a business takes its profits to the Cayman Islands, ships its jobs overseas or finds a loophole to avoid paying its fair share of taxes, it means that the business climate in the USA sucks because of government costs!

Comrade Warren fails to mention that companies must send lobbyists to keep politicians from targeting them if they don’t pay up. For example, Hillary ranted and raved against “big pharma” until they donated a pot of cash to her campaign fund. Oddly enough, she shut up about them after that.
As another said, the problem is that government has the power to hand out goodies or deal penalties in the first place. Shrink government and stop the payoffs and blackmail.

finds a loophole to avoid paying its fair share of taxes Hey Bozo, the law is the law.
The law decides what is a "fair share".
Own it.

If a business takes its profits to the Cayman Islands, ships its jobs overseas or finds a loophole to avoid paying its fair share of taxes, then that business now has a leg up over every small business and start up that cant take advantage of those loopholes. Warren's only interest is in keeping the money here for easier looting. When a jackal like her expresses "support for small business", we know what she really means. Like her fellow progressives, she has never seen any business - large or small - that she didn't want to fascisticallly co-opt as an arm of government, complete with installation of a Federally-controlled HR Department to dispense bread and stripes and voting instructions to that unfortunate company's newly unionized workforce.

We should all pay very close attention to what this sour old harridan says . . . after all, she has so much experience in creating and running small businesses.
Hey, squaw-woman, unlike you, I don't believe in discrimination--I believe in ALL businesses.

“If a business takes its profits to the Cayman Islands, ships its jobs overseas or finds a loophole to avoid paying its fair share of taxes, then that business now has a leg up over every small business and start up that cant take advantage of those loopholes. “
and the CEO then becomes a jobs czar for the obama administration ala Jeff Immelt/GE....

Democrats love to talk about small businesses but they do every thing to destroy them. So, it’s a “false narrative,” as they would say. Same goes for the middle class. They are the biggest destroyers of the middle, yet they talk about how they love the middle class all the time. Commnists always say the opposite of what they do.
To: Sir Napsalot
Hmmm. No mention of the biggest influence peddlers in the US, non-corporate “corporations” like AFSCME, AFL-CIO, the Teamsters, NEA, groups like that.
I wonder why??
