We all put into a society that allows the rich to get rich off of it (get rich off of us), and they should pay back into it for that.

That is not "Class Warfare" ... that is "Being Fair" !!!

There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own!

She's great! I saw her on "Morning Joe" on MSNBC this morning. You can tell that she's not a polished polititian, but she's got the right ideas & appears to be determined. Apparently she has a primary opponent. One preliminary poll had her ahead of Brown, but that doesn't mean anything now. I'm behind her 100%.

Now ain't this lying woman just too wonderful for words. Claiming to be a "minority" all her lifelong career and therefore getting to where she is today? Yes Jim, you go on thinking her wonderful and see how wonderful she is if she were to be elected to any office whereby you could be affected. Let me know how that goes for you my friend. You are a fool.

Perfectly stated. No other comment needed.

She is one of two good Democrats running against Scott Brown here!
Steve B. Sep 21, 2011, 9:14pm UTC
She sure seems to know what she's talking about. The fact that Wall Street was so opposed to her confirmation speaks volumes about her competency.

The race here in MA is on going, I am not sold on Warren over another Dem running: the current Mayor of Newton-Setti Warren. I like Elizabeth in the post she currently holds. Two candidates named Warren on the same ticket will create a big problem.

Oh absolutely, bring back the slimy corrupt Kennedy minions. You guys don't know what a good thing you have with Scott Brown. A true bi-partisan worker who will work for all. Warren is another Kennedy, and she will bring back all the back room wheeling and dealing and underhanded politics. She is a political hack. God help Massachusetts if Warren is elected because it will be back to the stone ages (also known as the Kennedy years in current parlance). Don't be taken in by Warrens speaking out of both sides of her mouth. Be smart and forward thinking. Massachusetts is a great state and you should want to keep it that way.

Amen sista!
Deidre Kent May 23, 2012, 2:21am UTC
Well sista! She does have good hair, I'll give her that. Good for Massachusetts? I'd have to say no!
I think Warren is a marvelous candidate. From seeing her eviscerate McHenry at the Oversight Subcomittee hearings and from in depth interviews, it's clear that she is well suited for a senatorial campaign. She appears down to earth, has a sense of humor, and can explain complex concepts in plain language. She projects infectious enthusiasm for anything she's in favor of. She's one of those smartest people in the room who doesn't feel like she has to prove it.

I hope she beats Brown and turns out to be a good Senator.
Steve B. Sep 21, 2011, 9:16pm UTC
Brown has gobs of Wall Street money. It's going to be hard for her to compete financially. If she's elected, it will be because the citizens of MA are paying attention.

A lot of communities charge a "per head" tax on the company that isin their jurisdiction. This is to pay for the services you say are provided for free. AND no, the govt, in general, does not help people to succeed in a business (unless you are a friend or donor) with all the regulations to be met and permits to obtained costing a lot of money and time.

The company also pays taxes to the community in various form especially in Dem states like MA.
"no, the govt, in general, does not help people to succeed in a business (unless you are a friend or donor) "

Gosh, sounds just like the golden age of free enterprise in the US in the 19th century. Whether it's right or wrong it's the way things have worked in the US since the day the country was founded. Quid pro quo should probably replace "e pluribus unum."

Very well put.
Larry M. Sep 21, 2011, 10:19pm UTC
Best of luck at getting them to do that. Big money is not noted for being generous. It's noted for lots of other things.
Debra C. Sep 21, 2011, 11:10pm UTC
She would be a good addition to Congress. Her campaign will be fun to watch.
Deidre Kent May 23, 2012, 2:16am UTC
She is a consummate liar who wouldn't know the truth if it hit her in the face like a big fat dead fish. What is wrong with you people in Massachusetts. Wake up! Get out of your local bubble and look around and take the national temperature on Elizabeth Warren. She is a big fat liar and everyone in the US can see it except for you.

Absolutely!
Kay M Sep 22, 2011, 1:32pm UTC
Amen to that!
