Elizabeth Warren’s presidential campaign rollout continues ahead of whatever her “big announcement” will be on February 9th, and she was on CNBC this morning taking on the nation’s billionaires:
"I want these billionaires to stop being freeloaders," Sen. Elizabeth Warren told @JimCramer on @MadMoneyOnCNBC last night. https://t.co/cV8Q6VdOVW pic.twitter.com/8hZn6wzo2z

As is often the case when Warren speaks, self-awareness detectors were flatlining:
Arguably stole money based on a lie and prevented actual minorities from advancing.

Her whole career was made possible by millionaires and billionaires supporting Harvard.

Calling out freeloaders as she is being paid to be a US Senator while at the same time spending her time to get a different job.

And with Cory Booker now having entered the presidential fray, Warren’s rhetoric is only bound to get more over the top.
Note: Liz Warren is worth about 8-10M (roughly 4x the net worth of most Senators) and has worked in Academia and Government her entire life. https://t.co/YyXELtGUjJ

I don’t think most billionaires became billionaires because they were freeloaders. Most politicians became politicians because they talk more than they ever accomplish.

Um… the top 1% pays 40% of the taxes. How is that being a free loader?

How many jobs have these people created? How many jobs has @SenWarren created in her long productive life?

We’ll wait for an answer from the senator. #Crickets
