Elizabeth Warren Announces Anti-Corruption Plan

Grandstanding.

 

You said she is corrupt, please list a few examples. There was very little should could have done about your perceived corruption during prior administrations and the racial thing I could care less about. Have anything else?

 

I'm against this it is a nothing law for no reason. First requiring someone to present their tax return is disclosing private information that is of no use to anybody.

Second sometimes lobbying is the only way the people get their voices heard.

 

I don't think there are enough gullible voters willing to buy this crap. We are watching our country getting fatter and sicker than ever and dems are pushing for more of what is making and keeping people sick. Pharma is enjoying record profits while Americans die younger. Forgive me for being skeptical.

Could anyone who stands up to the food and drug industry ever get elected?

 

I do not understand how anyone could doubt that any powerful professional politician is corrupt? Most of our pols are not in jail because prosecutors choose not to investigate them, and when they are exposed refuse to charge them.

“What if the problem is not bribery … but extortion? What if the Permanent Political Class in Washington, made up of individuals from both political parties is using its coercive public power to not only stay in office but to threaten others, and to extract wealth, and in the bargain pick up private benefits for themselves, Their friends and their families?” EXTORTION, "How Politicians Extract Your money, Buy Votes, And Line Their Own Pockets, Peter Schweizer, HMO, NY, NY, 2013, p. 2.

Like duh! Right?

 

I agree 100%, but I bet our OP doesn't. He completely sidestepped that in his reply to me and tried to change the subject, so I cut him loose.

 

Denial + a Logical Fallacy. Thanks for the fail post.

 

Turns out swamp thing Warren is all about the benjamins when it benefits her.

 

So will she write the bill this week? If she times it right she can sign it when she becomes President. I think that will be a first in American history.

 

What evidence is there her stated ethnicity had a role? The college denied it did. You have something else to offer? Or is this more BS like Hillary murders people?

 

Elizabeth Warren Announces Anti-Corruption Plan

Is this before or after she announces her 'Anti-Cultural Appropriation Plan'?

 

Leaders lead by example.

 

We can prove our beliefs by our committal to them, and in no other way. If you hate Big Oil, give up your car. If you think coal causes global warming, close your account with the electric company. If you want to end lobbyist influence, don't take their money. To not do those things makes one a hypocrite.

 

See the above post.

 

Professional politician = crook.

 

Again, you don’t understand the definition of the word.

You have to have a vehicle to work - no vehicle, no income.
You have to eat to survive - no food, death.
You have to have electricity to survive, no electricity, potential death.

You can be against pollution and for the ethical treatment of animals but you are still forced to remain in the system because there is little alternative.
I would hardly call people that are advocating for changes in these systems hypocrites because they must use them until an alternative is viable.

I guess they could do like cons and just lay around and bitch and moan without attempting to change anything.

I know you are being purposely obtuse but that this has to be explained makes you look... well, insert your own adjective.

 

From your “likes” to your comments, So much for staff members even attempting to appear impartial

Shame, no wonder this place reads like the_donald

 

No human being is impartial, and I am not a judge. We are all here to share our opinions and engage in lively exchanges within the rules of the forum.
Is that a problem for you?

The difference may be that I value your opinion and enjoy reading the posts of everyone who disagrees with me here. That may be unusual, but, IMO, it should not be.

 

Ed Begly Jr does it.

 

Corruption... you mean like folks appropriating culture and identity to self advance? Like that kind of corruption??

 

Corruption would have been if, at the time of hiring, a Harvard HR person had asked her for proof of her native heritage, and she would have paid them hush money under the table to hire her even without proof. That's what corruption means, not entering a mutual contract with a salary that was approved by both sides, even though the Warren haters get outraged by this salary and think it is proof for corruption.

On the other hand, we know someone who did pay hush money. Someone you support 10000%, despite the nasty facts.

 

So pretending to be a Native American for decades to further your career isn't corruption?

 

Soooo... thanks for the"we don't care about real corruption'. but what about over there....

 

I care about corruption. What she did was a mistake, not corruption.

 

I think she off to a good start.. a few more of those debates and there will be no Democrats left in Government AND that will get rid of 80% of the corruption in Government.
