As the Herald’s Sean Philip Cotter reported, when Harwood pushed Warren on what rates she would like to see taxes raised to, Massachusetts’ senior senator ducked the questions.

“Well, it’s not about the number,” Warren said in response to a question about the corporate tax rate. “Here’s how I look at budgets, and taxes are at the heart of this. A lot of people think they’re just numbers. They’re not. They are the expression of our values. The values of the Republican Party that passed those tax cuts are to give $1.5 trillion away to the richest Americans and the biggest corporations, and let everybody else pick up the crumbs.”

I wouldn't call hiring a lot more people and handing out bonuses "crumbs", but then, I'm just a dumb deplorable.

Her progressive logic is that higher taxes and spending is the best way of helping us and tax cuts just help the wealthy and hurt us by limiting spending for us.

When she says ‘They are the expression of our values.’ it reminds me of when Obama was POTUS and Paul Ryan put up those completely phony balanced budget resolutions in the House and when called on it told the media “Its a moral document’

When Obama was talking to a reporter, the reporter said something like, it appears that giving out tax cuts does increase the amount of tax revenue received, while increasing taxes causes the amount of revenues received to decrease. What’s your take on that? Obama said, “It’s not about tax revenue. It’s about fairness.” (What? No. It is about tax revenue. Where do you think all that free stuff you hand out comes from?)
