Americans whose voices are not heard in D.C. and whose needs are ignored by a Congress too busy raising big money to think about the majority of their constituents.
It will get voters to pay attention.
It will reassure voters that their concerns are recognized by Elizabeth Warren and that she is on their side.
Because it will make not just progressives but a lot of people feel good, people who lost their pensions when their companies were sold, people who lost good paying jobs when someone like Romney bought their company and set up the equipment overseas and then imported the products that were at one time made her, etc.
The beneficial outcome is uniting people behind REAL change, not just Third Way chump change. And chump change is what too many Americans are left with today.
I know a guy in his 50s, worked as long as he could at a steady, decent-paying industrial job. When he got into his 50s, the work petered out. The company "reorganized." He was "laid off." He became very depressed and kind of withdrew into himself. Went into retraining for, of course, some sort of computer industry job but never got a job. Continued taking courses. His marriage began to fall apart. Eventually, someone made an offer on his house and he and his wife who no longer lived in their house sold. He is still depressed. He still has no job. He is still in his 50s. He is close to divorced.
That's the story of a generation that got hit hard by history.
In fact, there is a pretty good-sized segment of every generation in America today that has it tough, really tough. The economy is improving a bit, but not nearly fast enough. And the recovery is only slowly bringing higher wages In fact, a lot of the wage hikes are do to new laws and not to any drastic growth in demand for labor.
The rich were bailed out. The poor and middle class lost out. That need to change. Many Americans are still waiting for prosperity to trickle down. Elizabeth Warren speaks for them. When Elizabeth Warren says the game is rigged, she is talking for millions and millions of Americans.
Why should a student pay a higher interest rate on a student loan than a bank pays on a loan from the Fed? That is the kind of question that Elizabeth Warren asks?
Why should a guy who helps his clients avoid paying taxes in the US be employed by the government whose tax revenues he helps deplete?
Why should a bank be allowed to sell a stock to a middle-class client who has no inside information and is relatively unsophisticated about investments and then buy some sort of financial instrument that constitutes a bet against the stock purchase of the client? The bank's purchase of a stock that is essentially a bet against a client should be considered a conflict of interest and a breach of fiduciary duty. It isn't. It seems to be legal. But it's morally wrong. Elizabeth Warren understands that it is wrong and can tell you why in language that you will understand.
Elizabeth Warren 2016.
And if she doesn't want to run, Bernie Sanders 2016.
Let's get some fair rules in our capitalist game. Capitalism had to either be pretty good for everyone or it will be rejected and fail. I think we can make capitalism into a good, fair system with everyone playing by the same, fair rules. And I think Elizabeth Warren is the person who would be able to change our nation so that our system is fair. I would like to see her appointing the cabinet. That is why I would like to see her in the White House.
I also like Bernie Sanders.
