WARREN: Nobody in this country got rich on their own

It's a point I've made since my very first campaign: Nobody in this country got rich on their own. They relied on infrastructure we all paid for, employees we all paid to educate. So if you're successful, good for you—now pay it forward so everyone has a chance at success. pic.twitter.com/FAuZhggAGk— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) November 29, 2019

They relied on infrastructure we all paid for, employees we all paid to educate.

Including rich people who pay the lion’s share of the taxes.

OK, did Cochise or Three Bears give you your $17,000,000?

Psychopathic democrats politicians and professors are richer than 95 percent of their working class duped voters. That means that they are successful Marxists and Communists. Time for AMerica to wake up and see that the Red Democrats have no ethics, will lie to achieve by any means necessary, and will destroy anyone who seeks or reveals the truth.

Wench, what would you know about being successful? Besides being a politician and a schoolmarm...that is, a government employee...all your life?

She wouldn’t know truth if it bit her right in the wampum.

[metmom]

She would know.

But so what?

[cranked]

...the utter idiocy continues....*yawn*

Some people get on the "public" roads - and head for the beach or the liquor store.

Others head for the lab, the workshop, the field, the factory, the bakery.

Warren needs to watch how people utilize their time. It's not "Society's" or the "public" time - it's that individual's time. Such a creepy, dumb Communist.

Certainly no Democrat. Humans have.

O am glad she wasnt at my dinner would have dumped the gravy on her arrogant head

[carcraft]

If the roads EVERYONE has access too and the “education” EVERYONE has access too drives wealth accumulation why isn’t everybody rich?

[Ken Regis]

If I recall correctly, it was Warren who generated this notion RIGHT BEFORE “You didn’t build that!”

[Ken Regis]

Yes... I thought so.

I should have read all the comments BEFORE posting.

Thanks.

Above and beyond the human right of entrepreneurs to control the wealth they've won or lost by risking their money, Warren misses two basic points.

1. It's not as if a wealthy person's wealth is sitting around idle.  It's invested in ways that sustain or create new jobs and new wealth -- growing the economy and redirecting capital to new skills and new jobs that replace jobs no longer needed by society.
   
   
2. Warren's plan of massive wealth distribution would reward incompetents and rent-seeker elites at the top of globalist enterprises for their own enrichment.  But it would be a disaster for skin-in-the-game entrepreneurs who represent the vital, reinvigorating, wealth-creating side of our economy.

D’rat politicians sure do project a lot. Talk about achieving success on the backs of others — she is the poster squaw for that.

[SC DOC]

Warren and Obama are right, but for the wrong reason in stating that nobody in this country got rich on his own.

They did it with help from GOD.
