WARREN: Nobody in this country got rich on their own
Elizabeth Warren on Twitter ^ | 11/29/19 3h ago | Elizabeth Warren

Posted on 11/29/2019 5:42:30 PM PST by conservative98

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

JHC, my father came from NOTHING, ran away when he was in about 5th grade, went up the Mississippi River to Kansas City and after 17 stupid jobs,, got a job at little Kansas City Restaurant. Years later, he’d become president of a nationwide chain that he created from that tiny “shop,” and became a millionaire.

Liberals can go suck rocks.

How in the Hell is this woman not jailed on fraud charges already? She claimed to be a Native American when she taught courses at Harvard. Later lied about her children going to public schools. Are Democrats really above the law? 17th letter that I cannot name on non-17th letter threads, what say you?

Actually, Obama got that from Warren who later echoed her thoughts. See the You didn’t build that origin...

Background
In August 2011, while contemplating a run for the U.S. Senate, former White House financial reform adviser Elizabeth Warren gave a defense of progressive economic theory at an event in Andover, Massachusetts.[7] On September 21, a video of Warren making the case for progressive economics received attention on the Internet and became a viral video.[8] In the video, Warren aggressively rebuts the argument that asking the rich to pay more taxes is “class warfare”,[9] by making the claim that no one grew rich in America without depending on government services paid for by the rest of society.[10] Warren said:[11]

I hear all this, you know, ‘Well, this is class warfare, this is whatever.’ No. There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own — nobody. You built a factory out there? Good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police-forces and fire-forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn’t have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory — and hire someone to protect against this — because of the work the rest of us did. Now look, you built a factory and it turned into something terrific, or a great idea. God bless — keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is, you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.

Obama later echoed Warren’s thoughts when he spoke in Roanoke, Virginia about how private businesses rely on government investments in infrastructure.[12][13] In her victory speech on November 6, 2012, Elizabeth Warren made a callback, stating it had been “an amazing campaign, and let me be clear, I didn’t build that, you built that.”[14]

Obama said the same stupid thing.

Because humans are indeed interconnected, she makes the ridiculous logical leap that somehow we all must support her government schemes.

Most of us didn’t ‘get rich’. I’m certainly not as rich as you are, Elizabeth (fake ‘Indian’ that you are.)

But you and your ilk and policies want to take away what little that I DO have.

No Thanks!

Similar BS to the claim your primary education was free... when your parents payed for it... but their education was free... when their parents payed for it... but their education was free.

Someone built a road. BFD. Why did they stop there? Building the factory is building the factory.

Stupid woman.
