This week, fading presidential aspirant Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass) boasted of receiving half of a low-income supporter's total wealth to carry on her fight for the nomination. The "half" consisted of $3 out of a net worth of $6.
To many it seemed a callous act to take so much from someone who had so little. Warren didn't see it that way. "In a way, it's like buying a lottery ticket," she contended. "If I'm elected I'm going to cancel her college debt. That's thousands of dollars in return for her $3 donation."
"It's also a model for the kind of social justice system I'm trying to bring to our country," she added. "In a just society everyone gives whatever they have to the collective. In return, the collective gives each person what she or he needs. All the anxiety and fretting over what is and isn't affordable will be erased. If the government deems you need something and are worthy of having it, it will be given to you. Likewise, if your skills and efforts are needed to accomplish a goal the government is trying to fulfill, you will be assigned to accomplish this goal. No one will have to look for work. Work will be assigned based on ability. Alienation and loneliness will be abolished. All of humanity will toil for the common good."

If she takes half a bank account while campaigning, imagine how much of it she’ll take if she ever became President.
So, they are Indian givers?
So scratch offs are not off the table.
She obviously stole this story from the Bible (Widow’s Mite). In any case, she’s completely FOS.
Quid Pro Quo .... I sense a crime in the making.
