Hysterical billionaire says Warren will shut down the stock market if she wins

[BeyondGeography]

NEW YORK — Hedge fund titan Leon Cooperman said he’s concerned about a shift to the left in the political landscape, which could harm the economy and the stock market.

“There’s unquestionably a shift to the left in this country,” Cooperman said at the Delivering Alpha conference presented by CNBC and Institutional Investor. “They won’t open the stock market if Elizabeth Warren is the next president.”

“You don’t make the poor people rich by making rich people poor,” Cooperman said. “The Democratic party seems to be leaning towards the left to the policy, which is very harmful for the economy. I don’t like the shift to the left.”

Senator Warren has been moving up in the crowded Democratic presidential field, polling only second to former Vice President Joe Biden in a new NBC/WSJ poll. She is a champion for the left wing for her bank-bashing and wealth-taxing proposals.

Warren has made an aggressive economic populism the signature of her White House bid. She has proposed a new wealth tax on assets above $50 million, and a new minimum tax on the profits of the largest corporations, to help finance new government benefits for child care, health care, housing and education.

In an interview with CNBC in January, Warren said “I want these billionaires to stop being freeloaders.”

1. Sounds pretty sweet to me

2. That's ridiculous

I figure this guy is a fan of Trump. I'm not for Warren, but she has said many times she is a capitalist.
He's just spreading fear to pump up his buddies.

4. They Had Their Chance

They could have restrained their greed to a more reasonable level and allowed the people who work for a living to get a big enough slice of the pie to keep them contented, but noooo....

6. The Trump Tax Cut for the rich was sooo over the top.

Got too damn greedy.

While President Trump is “locked and loaded” and “waiting to hear” from Saudi Arabia about who was behind last weekend’s drone attacks on two of the Kingdom’s oil plants, Democratic presidential hopeful Tulsi Gabbard fired off an attack of her own on Twitter TWTR, -0.56% :

‘Trump awaits instructions from his Saudi masters. Having our country act as Saudi Arabia’s bitch is not “America First.”’
This isn’t the first time Gabbard, who’s running for office on a platform that includes breaking up the U.S./Saudi alliance, has driven this point home before:

@TulsiGabbard
Hey @realdonaldtrump: being Saudi Arabia’s bitch is not “America First.”

The Hawaiian congresswoman isn’t alone on this, either. Former Obama administration adviser Ben Rhodes echoed her sentiment.
