“I used to think Liz Warren was at least intelligent. Sheesh, what a misguided bitter class waring hag!”
The real problem is the people that vote for representatives like her.

True, but I NEVER thought THEY were intelligent!

she doesn’t think that businesses and their employees don’t pay taxes for those things?

She won't find greed worse than hers among the wealthy. MS Warren has an irrational ambition for displacing and disenfranchising a class of people. The Nazis managed to accomplish a similar fete using similar tactics. The Bolsheviks cleaned house in 1917 and kept up housekeeping for decades. The PRC has laundered its population from 1945 up to this day.
Its what Utopian states do.
I prefer to work for the money rather than work to avoid a trip to the gallows.

‘she doesnt think that businesses and their employees dont pay taxes for those things?’
The left does not think of it that way. If you have a private business, and you profit at all, you are prospering in an illicit way. They ‘allow’ you to keep some of ‘their’ money.

she seems to think that these business owners did not pay taxes or match employee taxes while the were growing. If anything, businesses have pay forwarded more than their fair share. Lets talk about the 47% of people who do not pay taxes and get back more than they paid through earned income. Fair is fair!

you mean the rich paid for
“You didnt 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. “
you mean the rich did

The “social contract” is the Constitution, and the laws based on it. “Pay It Forward” is commie-talk for “confiscate all we can get away with.”

I think she’s making the argument that everyone should have skin in the game and those who collect government benefits should pay them back when they get back on their feet.
Isn’t she?

She is correct in that a person cannot build a factory without the help of others. However, what she refuses to acknowledge and what she despises is that he entered into many private agreements with many individuals who all individually felt that helping him would give them a win too. It is not the government who helped him, it was lots of private individuals who agreed to help him in return for wages.
It really does define the world view difference between them and us. she does not believe that private individuals have the right to engage in private transactions and then claim personal success.

True.
I freely made a choice many years ago to choose a steady hourly wage, instead of opting for the riskier, but potentially much more lucrative commission based positions.
My life, my choice.
No, I (and everyone else) will never attain great wealth by working for steady hourly or salary wages for a living.
I make enough to comfortably support my family, pay my bills, and keep a roof over our heads and food in our pantry.
The class warfare political game is one I simply refuse to play.
Nothing stopped me from reaching for more, except my own personal choices and priorities in life.

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 didnt 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." Boy... Does she ever have that backward. Without entrepreneurs to provide the jobs that pay those taxes, there is no money for her precious government. Productive people can live just fine without government. Government, however, cannot live without productive people.

This might work in Massachusetts, the state that voted for McGovern in 1972 and which kept sending Teddy Kennedy back to the US Senate after he killed Mary Jo Kopechne.
To: Verginius Rufus
Yeah but Scott Brown won by 5 points in January 2010
because of independents (largest group in MA) and Reagan Democrats.
Massachusetts voted for Reagan in 1984!!!! Remember????
Places like Billerica, Worcester and the Cape ain’t voting for Elizabeth
Warren.
Book it! Scott Brown 2012. Jim DeMint for Senate Leader or Bust.

The only things that have ever increased under government control are the size of government (with no correlation to efficiency or effectiveness) and poverty (which has a direct correlation to the size of government). Every thing else that they touch turns to sh!t!

...and everybody has access to these same roads, and these same police and firemen, and these same publicly educated workers.
Some people put in the effort required to use those tools to produce wealth, and some don't.
