OWS-Founder And Class Warrior Elizabeth Warren: “I Think It’s Wrong” The Way Romney Earns His Income…
Only a lobotomized lefty buys into this nonsense. Romney earns his income primarily off of interest and dividends which is exactly the same way millions of retired Americans do. If she wants to raise the tax rate on dividends then it would hurt the middle class the hardest.
Via RCP:
“And that is that Mitt Romney pays 14% of his income in taxes and people who get out there and work for a living pay 25%, 28%, 30%, 33%. I get it. Mitt Romney gets a better deal than any of the rest of us because he manages to earn his income in a way that has been specially protected for rich folks. I think that’s wrong,” Elizabeth Warren, a democratic candidate for U.S. Senate from Massachusetts said on MSNBC’s “The Last Word.”

Hypocrisy has a voice and it belongs to Elizabeth Warren:
“Warren earned nearly $535,000 in 2009, including $310,000 for teaching law at Harvard University, according to financial disclosure reports she had to file as a political appointee of President Barack Obama.
She took home $507,000 in 2010. Neither of those figures included the salary of her husband, fellow Harvard law professor Bruce Mann, or the $192,722 Warren earned between 2009 and 2010 for chairing the congressional panel tasked with overseeing the bank bailouts. The totals also did not include the roughly $138,000 she earned between September 2010 and July 2011 while launching the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

There are 74 million that will also get that capital gains rate when we take our money.

And i’d bet most are hard working people simply trying to accumalte some sort of finacial security for their old age.
But this woman and Obama wants some of that money … a lot of that money.
@SpringTexas
I bet she $1.75 to charity. All these lefties fail to mention Mitt gave another 15% to charity.
I wonder if anyone’s ever bothered to point out that regular income tax has already been paid on the money that has been invested and is now earning interest or dividends which are taxed again at a lower rate.
I guess that would be an inconvenient truth for the Left.
Harvard Law class war.
What a sham.
They should have stuck to class action.
The entire occupyers are full of hypotcrits and their lead by a big time hypotcrit SCREW THE OCCUPYERS and SCREW TIME magazine
“And that is that Mitt Romney pays 14% of his income in taxes and people who get out there and work for a living”
What would she know about working for a living? She’s sucked the government teet all her life.
Harvard is going, going, gone…
People like you are why we are in this quagmire of pure envy and resentment.
Go to hell
“I Think It’s Wrong” The Way Romney Earns His Income
Compared to, say, Soros?
Yes, it’s wrong that Romney pays 14% while we pay 25% and up.
Solution? Drop us all down to 14% and force Congress to balance the budget with whatever revenue that brings in.

i hate to say this, but i hope these people have 24 hour security
And Warren cries “wrong”???
Wrong is when Warren was in full campaign-mode against Scott Brown and still yanking a Harvard professor’s salary.
Wrong is when Warren was paid $192,722 for serving as chairman of a congressional committee that monitored the 2008 federal bank bailout, three times as much as had originally been acknowledged.
What is scary is that the progressives believe. If Warren is serious then she needs to support a flat tax. Has she released her tax records for 2010 yet?
Warren and her egg hatching ilk need a romney menu and order don’t hate me cause I’m rich lunch special
Please! Can you stop posting this stupid Racist shit? I have heard more then enough and there is no more that can be said about the idiots who lob those racist charges. How about more real issues?
Elizabeth Warren has an extensive history of going on shows that are from the liberal left. In the interview above she is interacting with a confirmed and open socialist. She has appeared on Bill Maher and with the infamous blob Michael Moore as well.
Warren who came from a blue collar working family out of Oklahoma lost her roots long ago after allowing her intellect to be swallowed up by everything in academia.
She started her in her legal direction in academia by becoming an advocate as well as an architect in making it easier for Americans to file bankruptcy over the years.
She thinks its wrong because leftists think people should be dependent upon the govt, not the private sector.
To people like Warren, the only acceptable income (for the rest of us) is a meager government check.
I think it’s wrong she opens her mouth!!!
If they want to talk about abuses in the tax code, then lets start with EIC.
The Earned Income Credit not only redistributes wealth, but it incentivizes having children out of wedlock!
Another uglier-than-homemade-sin liberal. Bet she has Berkenstocks on her feet (and hairy underarms).

One wonders just where that grand Harvard and Harvard Law tuition comes from, just how it’s all paid year in and year out.
It’s just WRONG how much this woman sounds like Newt.
Even though Romney is not my wish for America, I think he should kick you in the chops and say “fuck you”, “who cares what you think?”
The thought of someone making money honestly is revolting to her. To the honest among us the thought of the way she and her friends make their money is revolting to us.
Some days the only thing that keeps me from being angry about criminals like her is that I know there is a god and there will be judgement in the ultimate end.
Lizardbreath,
Keep on talking.
The stand up guys need new fodder everyday.
Lunatic Fringe, you are there.
