I think this has been posted here before, but if you haven't seen it:




You know what my favorite thing is about Liz? If she were male, I think the title Magnificent Bastard would apply (IS there even a female equalivant to such a title?). She is just so much BETTER at this than they are (and they HAVE to be starting to figure this out by now lol) that if they don't FEAR her, they are just entierley too stupid to hold the jobs that they have. If I had to sit in front of her committe for something as mundane as my grocery list, I would think twice about fucking with her lol.

"If the income gains had gone to minimum wage workers instead of the top 1%, the minimum wage would stand at about $33/hour."


My apologies if I didn't transcribe that perfectly, but that's the gist of it. We work harder; they get richer.

The last man to speak said 'Typically when costs rise, we don't actually just raise it just raise it four cents, we might actually go a little a higher... it has an inflationary effect on the economy.."

I think this could be interpreted as 'if my costs go up, I will use that excuse to raise my income even more, and I will have an inflationary effect on the economy.'

Greed, greed, greed!

AND she had the balls to call him out on it, AND THEN she had the wit (my god, my god, what HAVE we gone and done) to get the OTHER GUY SITTING AT THE TABLE to use the data he brought with him to cut the legs out from underneath the poor, dumb, fucker who thought he could pull a fast one on her. Watching her work these guys is what I imagine it would have been like to spend a day hanging out in DaVinci's Studio.

THIS is what the Senate is SUPPOSED to be doing with it's time and Taxpayer Salaries. It's a Master's Class in how to deal with Bullshit.

Fuck it, she could decide to demote herself to local Dog Catcher, and I'd vote for her.

Keep posting these vids, even as far back as her speech/lecture on the Coming Collapse of the Middle Class; IF she decides to run, the material is it's own campaign message, and you can bet your ass someone will try and disappear them from the web.

Keep it posted, keep it kicked.
