Elizabeth Warren Announces Anti-Corruption Plan

Because no business man would sell off their business just to serve 8 years as president. Only career politicians "groom" their tax returns for public consumption. Everyone else takes every legal deduction and loophole they can find to pay as little tax as possible,

Suppose someone like Bill Gates would consider running for President. Do you think he'd make a good one? Do you think he'd be willing to sell off his businesses and release 10 years of tax returns to his opponents for the priviledge?

 

May be time to ban career politicians. Pols all have a built in COI.

 

Ok, so she has used the same systems they all have.

It’s hard to fight on a level playing field when everyone else is playing by more beneficial rules

 

Taking legal deductions is to be expected. If someone runs a business that could unfairly benefit from their office as president and they value it over the contributions their office would make then they shouldn’t run in the first place.

 

Thanks for confirming she's a hypocrite.

 

Oh I don’t think a single person that defends trump will ever vote for anyone but him. The left could run Jesus himself and y’all would attack him as a socialist that hangs out with, how did you so eloquently put it, whores. The independents — that see our standing in the world being shredded and our president begging a foreign power that was behind 9/11 to use our military to strike targets at their request — they might see things differently.

Oh, second fed rate cut just occurred. Someone is terrified another republican recession is coming.

Also, please have some integrity and refrain from editing down my posts. Thanks again.

 

Is she a hypocrite for playing by the same rules everyone else is with plans to change those rules when she is able?

I think you should look up the definition of the word.

 

So long as people have the ability to air political advocacy ads the tit for tat will just be pushed back a step and continue.

I believe a law which does not actually achieve its aim is a law that should not be passed, or at the very least this should be a big concern.

 

Oh we definitely need regulation on that as well, most other countries have already addressed it but like with most things we are kind of lagging.

 

Prosecution for what?

 

Bill Gates would be a horrible President.

 

Don't we have a state prosecutor?

I go to a cable news station run my Mike. I knew him at Harvard and he agrees to run my speech in a blank ad spot during primetime for $90,000.

There is no chance the Supreme Court allows banning this in the foreseeable future.

Indeed, the little test I mentioned is one of the three tests for the strict scrutiny standard which the court uses to weigh the state and individual interest in first amendment issues.

They've got so much wrong, yet they still manage to produce some absolute gems.

 

We both know even as President she can't change jack squat, it has to be a law passed by Congress and the Democrats won't do it if they retain the House.

 

I don’t understand what you are referring to or what a citation on a Wiki page has to do with this?

 

Maybe Pocohantas outta start by investigating and removing herself as a Presidential Candidate for her lying and falsely indentifying herself as an American Indian and reaping the rewards of Affirmative Action. That would be a good start.

 

If trump has proven anything it’s that we don’t know what people will do. At least it is being discussed, which is more than the right is currently doing.

 

1. The left doesn't run Jesus, the left doesn't believe in Jesus, the left hates Christians and Christianity and Christ and Christmas and Christian values... none of these leftist candidates running for president is Jesus, they are all corrupt political whores, lying sniveling career politicians.

2. If you think you can convince independents to take seriously anti-corruption program introduced by a corrupt fraud who has been part of the swamp her entire life, whose entire career is based of corruption and blatant theft with your "but Trump, but Republicans" copout, good luck, you're going to need it.

 

You see nothing wrong with $400K for a single class and getting the job by lying about being Native American? O.K.???

 

So she played by the current rules and wants to change them. Sort of like trump making his crappy ties in China?

 

No evidence she got the job by saying she was native.
I’m less bothered by the 400k she got paid to work at a college, than the 10s of millions trump had to pay for ripping people off with his fake college

 

Some of the “left” are Christians, so yes — they believe in Jesus. Most people do not hate Christians just the way they have become lost. Christian values today seem more about doing harm to others rather than curing it.

Oh I’m not convincing them of anything — that is up to the Democrat the DNC nominates, trump has already shown the alternative. But since you brought it up, in what ways is she corrupt? I know the whole Indian thing is the current “scandal” but she may have honestly believed she was so until someone posts something showing she knowingly lied that’s not really anything... any more?

Either way — We will see. 14 months away.

 

She will have to start at the FED and with Treasury Secretary Mnuchin, then go backwards up to todays white house, then back to 2008 and wipe away the free money to banks...

 

Lol, her entire life is built on a lie, she stole her career from a deserving minority, what she did is incomparably worse than the student admissions scandal for which people are going to jail.

She's been a swamp member in good standing for decades, in bed with lobbyists, special interests etc, like i said, she spent 8 years in Washington during Obama administration ignoring rampant corruption, she ignored the Clinton's corruption, the corruption ofObama's upper echelons of DOJ/FBI...

Please, spare me this "naive girl who believed she was Pokahontes" nonsense, no one believes in such absurd fairytales.

 

1) I said before that it was a mistake to claim native heritage based on family stories, without having proof. She has apologized for that mistake. Also, Harvard didn't request proof at the time of hiring. If they had, this would be a non-story.

2) Her actual salary is roughly half of the $400,000, the rest is for consulting. None of that is unusual for a high-profile school like Harvard. Heck, at our lowly (compared to Harvard) state university, I have colleagues who make $170,000 as full professors.

3) Harvard is a private institution. If they decided that Dr. Warren's services are worth the salary they pay, who are you to argue with it? I'm sure she didn't put a gun to their head and forced them to pay her a high salary. If you, however, want to advocate for salary caps on contracts between private parties, feel free, I'm sure that will be a winning proposition with GOP voters. Not even "socialist" Democrats have advocated for such a thing.
