Wall Street Sounds Alarm As Warren Rises
November 4, 2019 at 6:31 am EST By Taegan Goddard

New York Times: “From corporate boardrooms to breakfast meetings, investor conferences to charity galas, Ms. Warren’s rise in the Democratic primary polls is rattling bankers, investors and their affluent clients, who see in the Massachusetts senator a formidable opponent who could damage not only their industry but their way of life.”

“Interviews with more than two dozen hedge-fund managers, private-equity and bank officials, analysts and lobbyists made clear that Ms. Warren has stirred more alarm than any other Democratic candidate. (Senator Bernie Sanders, who describes himself as a socialist, is also feared, but is considered less likely to capture the nomination.)”

Said Democratic donor Steven Rattner: “Everyone is nervous. What scares the hell out of me is the way she would fundamentally change our free-enterprise system.”

1. Poor babies,

instead of having $100 million in the bank, they’d only have $98 million if Warren gets elected.

7. That level of greed is inexplicable to me. How can they NOT want

a small portion of that money to be used to better the lives of their fellow citizenry who, no doubt, had a hand in the creation of that wealth.

It’s a matter of public health, public safety, and an educated workforce. And yet, they whine.

2. What is exactly needed is a change

to the current "free-enterprise system."

Go, Elizabeth!

3. Our Unfair Enterprise System NEEDS Change!

This Second Gilded Age of Corporate Fascism we are living in cannot go on much longer. We need to level the playing field for Middle Class Working Families.

4. Rattner evidently emphasized "free" within free-enterprise".

His days of unfettered feeding on the gravy train need to come to an end.

5. Poor babies!

Guys like Jeff Bezos make $215 million dollars a day, it is hard to feel sorry for them...
