Elizabeth Warren...

Lizzy Warren took an axe
gave the banker 40 whacks
When she saw what she had done
she cut off the broker's dick for fun

Clinton/Warren 2016

Please not Hillary Clinton.... I mean, what sets her apart from Obama? She'll follow the same domestic policies as Obama and serve the criminal class on Wall Street -- and be much more bellicose on the foreign front.
I wouldn't be shocked if McCain ended up in her cabinet.
Anyway, change comes from the bottom up and never the top down. Don't look to leaders for change. Plus we don't elect leaders. We elect representatives. They are supposed to represent our interests... which I'm sure Hillary Clinton is so eager to do -- ha ha!
She is simply serving her own interests. Those are her values. She is serving the ultra rich; she's serving herself. Those, again, are her values.

You'll note that Clinton's maximum estimated net worth ($25 million) was about 1/10th that of Romney, with whom Kerry is in the same ballpark. It's important to note that the Clintons likely upped their net worth significantly after Hillary Clinton left as secretary of state -- some have estimated it at $55 million or higher -- but that's a lot of ground to make up. But it's also worth noting that, while Romney has spent his life as a part of the upper economic echelon of Americans, the Clintons are relative newcomers to extreme wealth. And their extreme wealth isn't quite as extreme as Romney's.

And he was the conservatives greatest hero 2 years ago. Now all of a sudden wealth is a problem. Interesting.

I find a lot of progressives don't understand the Democratic party platform either. With a 39% marginal income tax rate, you can become extremely wealthy. Even with a tax rate much higher than that you can accumulate enormous wealth. There's nothing wrong with being wealthy, but somehow there are Republicans who think that a Democrat who makes money is a hypocrite...and I'm sad to say that there are progressives who have also intimated as much...which is stupid in my view. They should be saying the incentive is still there to work hard and do well with a higher marginal income tax rate, a higher estate tax, and a higher capital gains rate.
