Thread: Elizabeth Warren - Promotes Bare Naked Socialism in America as Possible Presidential

Reading her list of eleven, the potential presidential candidate has certainly declared her belief that the time for her party to dictate to the rest of us from cradle to grave is imminent.

Her list follows:

• “We believe that Wall Street needs stronger rules and tougher enforcement, and we’re willing to fight for it.”
• “We believe in science, and that means that we have a responsibility to protect this Earth.”
• “We believe that the Internet shouldn’t be rigged to benefit big corporations, and that means real net neutrality.”
• “We believe that no one should work full-time and still live in poverty, and that means raising the minimum wage.”
• “We believe that fast-food workers deserve a livable wage, and that means that when they take to the picket line, we are proud to fight alongside them.”
• “We believe that students are entitled to get an education without being crushed by debt.”
• “We believe that after a lifetime of work, people are entitled to retire with dignity, and that means protecting Social Security, Medicare, and pensions.”
• “We believe—I can’t believe I have to say this in 2014—we believe in equal pay for equal work.”
• “We believe that equal means equal, and that’s true in marriage, it’s true in the workplace, it’s true in all of America.”
• “We believe that immigration has made this country strong and vibrant, and that means reform.”
• “And we believe that corporations are not people, that women have a right to their bodies. We will overturn Hobby Lobby and we will fight for it. We will fight for it!”
  
  To those who have the ability to look beyond the redistributive rhetoric, the reality is frightening.

  It certainly is! Beware this lady!

Elizabeth Warren, Hypocrite, Supports Ex-Im Bank

Twp / Wikimedia CommonsMassachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren—a leading progressive populist, possible Democratic presidential candidate, self-proclaimed champion of the poor, and enemy of greedy corporations (not really, as you will see)—supports the Export-Import Bank.
That's right: The woman best known for demonizing big businesses nevertheless wants to maintain an outlandishly generous subsidy package for them.
Warren's support for Ex-Im was revealed Friday after the Heritage Foundation reached out to her regarding a possible partnership on the issue. Libertarians and Tea Party conservatives are noted opponents of the subsidy, which they see as crony capitalism that helps politically-connected businesses cheat the free market. Liberty-inclined Republicans are working with the left on a host of issues, including NSA spying and marijuana legalization—why not make common cause with Warren on corporatism as well?


Looks like the joke is on Heritage. From Bloomberg:

“Senator Warren believes that the Export-Import Bank helps create American jobs and spur economic growth, but recognizes that there is room for improvement in the bank’s operations,” Warren spokesman Lacey Rose tells us in an e-mail. “She looks forward to reviewing re-authorization legislation if and when it is introduced.”

The irony of Warren rejecting an offer from the right to fight Ex-Im together was not lost on The Washington Examiner's Tim Carney:

Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren loves to shoot barbs at Wall Street. She also enjoys forcing taxpayers to absorb Wall Street's risks while the banks pocket the profits.
... At Ex-Im's annual conference, one Wall Streeter described Ex-Im's loan guarantees to me as "free money." Is Elizabeth Warren really fine with free money to Wall Street?

Warren was in Detroit on Friday morning speaking at Netroots Nation 2014, where unaffiliated activists waved signs and led chants urging her to run for president. They even filmed this cringe-inducing music video (you can watch it here, but fair warning: you will beg for death before the end). Here are some of the lyrics:

Americans want our next president to be a woman. Hey babe, here's looking at you Sen. Elizabeth Warren. The planet is warming and the power is shifting.

We need a leader who won't stand for all the corporate bullshit the lobby's grifting.


People think the system is rigged because it is. And it's time that we stand up. We need a leader who won't stand for all the corporate bullies and political phonies.

If they knew Warren supported Ex-Im, would they admit that she is a political phony who absolutely stands for all the corporate bullies? Yeah, I doubt it.
Thankfully, there are some politicians who do stand up to corporate bullies. Check out Reason TV's interview with Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) on his opposition to the Ex-Im Bank.
