Sen. Elizabeth Warren... You suck



When it comes to politics I generally find myself disgusted by the antics of notorious assholes like Eric Cantor, Ted Cruz, Rick Perry... any of the god pushers who stand for a party committed to personal freedoms and limited spending but give them a bully pulpit and they will spend your last dime while lowering taxes that they need to fund these programs while simultaneously telling you how you should live your life (in the name of our Lord). On the Dem. side I am sick of Obama because he is a fraud and a rampant over taxer and the politicians like Bernie Sanders and Peter Welch here in VT are uniformed windbags who just like to hear themselves talk. One article I read today though made my brain melt and it was a blog post from noted hypocrite Elizabeth Warren. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/elizabeth-warren/presidents-wall-street-nominee_b_6188324.html

Apparently the Obama administration is a little too Wall Street friendly. For a branch of government who cannot bash the finance industry enough and who has effectively blamed them for citizens borrowing too much money they knew they should not have... it seems curious that Obama has too many Wall Street cronies? Sure the top brass at banks have more money than ever. You can blame the Fed and various regulation for creating free cash but dis-incentivizing lending of risk for this cash hoarding. In any event... Sen. Warren does not like that Obama has nominated a 20yr Lazard vet and head of investment banking to a job in the Treasury Dept. She does not like that he worked in Europe and made deals that made the bank and their clients money. Forget that he is well educated and very qualified. Sen. Warren most likely would like a local bank teller or farm hand for that job. Hey, you don't like tax inversion? Make it more attractive for companies to stay here and they will. Stop trashing banks and companies and then acting hurt when they turn their back on you.

Furthermore... Warren is a major proponent of the working middle class and the common man. Of course the need for sacrifice in order to create equality should naturally fall to someone else. Here is a little snapshot of Sen. Warren's hypocrisy... http://elizabethwarrenwiki.org/income-and-net-worth/  Only 2.7% charitable giving? The average American gives over 3% and certainly do not make close to 1MM per year with a net worth of over 14MM? Also a pretty nice effective tax rate as the average was about 2% higher for the given tax bracket each year. She is only the 76th most wealthy member of the total 535 Congressional members so there is that. She has pulled shady shit w/ the "native American" thing, Whatever. Really I just people like Elizabeth Warren to shut the f*** up. You feel comfortable collecting mad cash at the expense of other Americans but you are opposed to others trying to do the same. This is America and we are all entitled to work hard and earn as much as we can. I don't care what you do but don't tell me that I cannot do the same.
