Sen. Warren: Who Does This Government Work For?
Morning Joe invited Sen. Elizabeth Warren on to talk about the GOP tax bill, and she didn't mince words.
"Let's put more wealth at the top and less strength and wealth for the rest of America," she said.
"I think the going forward point is captured in that tax debate and in the healthcare debate. It's who does this government work for? Is this a government that just works for those who can hire armies of lobbyists and lawyers and have a bunch of experts that are always, always, always coming to the point of view that oh, yes, we should help the rich and powerful and somehow it will work out great for the rest of America, or are we a country that genuinely believes that government is there to make sure everybody has got a level playing field, everybody has an opportunity to get in the game and do their best?
"That's what I think this is ultimately about, right now, this fight in Washington, I think this is what it will be about in 2018."
"And that vote has not been backed up. It was the crux of the message that he slammed hedge fund messengers," Willie Geist said, talking about Trump.
"He slammed hedge fund managers. 'I will bring back the manufacturing jobs. Those are the states where he won and flipped the election. And Bernie Sanders made the same argument. How do you convince those people you are the better party to do that? "
"Donald Trump has turned around and put Steve Mnuchin in charge of the Treasury," she said, pointing out how Mnuchin was in charge of one of the largest companies putting homeowners out on the street.
