Elizabeth Warren Details Middle-Class Struggles, Political Fights in New Book
ABC News ^ | April 21, 2014 | By ARLETTE SAENZ

Posted on 04/21/2014 4:13:43 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., has served in the U.S. Senate for less than two years, but her message of economic populism and boosting the middle class has catapulted her to stardom with Democrats nationwide.

In her new book, "A Fighting Chance," Warren reflects on growing up in a middle-class family in Oklahoma and shares how that upbringing shaped her mission to help struggling middle-class families.

“I wrote this book out of gratitude. I am the daughter of someone who ended up as a maintenance man, a woman who worked a minimum-wage job at Sears. And I ended up in the United States Senate because I grew up in an America that was investing in kids, that was building a strong middle class,” she said. “We're not doing that anymore. And Washington isn't working for families. It's working for big corporations. It's working for billionaires, not for families. And so this is just the continuation of my work. I wrote 'A Fighting Chance' because that's what I want every kid to have.”

Sniff...we are all such victims...snivel.

What ever shall we do without government to keep us safe from fictitious bad people (in exchange, of course, for our rights and property)?

She’s going to challenge Hitlery for the nomination, or is pushing for the VP slot. Thanks Oldeconomybuyer.

I’m certain it’ll be a best seller! Probably have pre-sold half a million copies already for the Clinton and Obama libraries.

we also had an industrial base that was located in AMERICA, not China, Vietnam, Japan or Mexico. Princess Fauxahontas should ask a union guy to explain what happened /s

In Warren-world, she tells us what it's all about.

Think of the most ignorant person you have ever met—male, female, any age, and they will pale next to Warren.

She must hire people to bash her in the head with a stupid hammer every day, just to get going in the morning.

Well, Senators do need staffs I guess.

I thought it was illegal to write a book while holding office. If I remember Hillary was paid for her book up front because she was going to the senate. They paid her, then she took office, then she wrote the book so that made it all legal.

I'm wondering...with both Princess Liawatha *and* “Coupe Deval” Patrick seeking the Rat Party nomination in ‘16...is there a SINGLE Massachusetts Rat who *isn't* running for President in ‘16?

As the original (?) author of “You didn’t build this!”, did she actually write this?
