Paul Krugman: This sort of confirms Warren's whole worldview, doesn't? Big Finance, given the choice

1. Yep.

[spooky3]

2. Krugman really nails it! Nt

[BeckyDem]

3. He did and its important someone of his stature said it.

4. KICK

5. The "wealth tax" is inherently unfair

and unconstitutional.

If you want the rich people pay their fair share, increase the income tax. However, taxing "after tax" wealth on which they have already paid taxes is tantamount to looting.

19. You're absolutely right.

People who are suggesting this type of "wealth tax" aren't really receiving good advice, or they simply don't know much about how things work. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and understanding with the rest of us.

6. Are the names of individual or corporate Wall Street Democratic donors listed anywhere?

Because, if this is their outlook, I think we need to start protesting them now.

7. Sure but it doesn't say anything about

The best achievable solution.

8. The names of those donors will get out.

The fact that they are remotely willing to chose criminal-activity/treason over paying a little more in taxes invalidates any claim they make about caring for the country.

9. A 2-cent tax scares them silly

Apparently, they are far to selfish to invest in the betterment of our country.

10. Great endorsement of Warren if Bankers hate her.

[SeaTownBlue]

11. Trump or Taxes

Traitors always choose Trump. Taxes are for the powerless to pay.

12. No such threat regarding a Sanders nomination?

Maybe they just figure Warren has a chance of winning and Bernie doesn't? Or that Warren would be able to enact more of her agenda if elected? (I think either of them would face a steep uphill fight...)

Either way, this only confirms my preference.

13. PK lets the public know how threatened Wall Street feels, to threaten Warren.

Good to know she's got them mad.


Warren's campaign = democratic government vs corporate government

Republicans will rue the day she's elected. They would treat her worse than they treated Obama.

[BeckyDem]

18. Totally. Krugman nails their true motive and we should never forget it, greed.

[TeamPooka]

14. It's like Wall Street is trying to make The French Revolution happen here.

If that's what they want....

[Ponietz]

15. Indubitably

[Volaris]

16. Omg what a buncha snowflakes. Fuck wall street, Warren 2020!

These guys are the other half of trump's base, I dont care how socially liberal they otherwise might be. They use money the way the deplorables use gunz..as a penis extension device.

[tirebiter]

17. I thought Warren wouldn't take their money

Serves em right
