OWS-Founder Elizabeth Warren Says She’s Not In The 1% Despite Being Worth $14.5 Million…
God help us if she’s elected to the Senate, which is a very real possibility considering Scott Brown’s weakness in the polls.
(BuzzFeed) — The rhetoric of class and inequality is back in force, and Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren — the standard-bearer for a combative new progressivism — made the case to MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell last night that members of the Senate shouldn’t own stock.
“I realize there are some wealthy individuals – I’m not one of them, but some wealthy individuals who have a lot of stock portfolios” she told him.
Hard to see how Warren wouldn’t be, by most standards, wealthy, according to the Personal Financial Disclosure form she filed to run for Senate shows that she’s worth as much as $14.5 million. She earned more than $429,000 from Harvard last year alone for a total of about $700,000, and lives in a house worth $5 million.
She also has a portfolio of investments in stocks and bonds worth as as much as $8 million, according to the form, which lists value ranges for each investment. The bulk of it is in funds managed by TIAA-CREF.

She’s wealthier than 99% of Americans.
MA deserves this marxist clown.
I guess I’ll be sending some $$ to Scott Brown, but really what difference would it make when you have a bunch of ignorant idiots voting?
Typical liberal bureaucrat ….”I’ll help as long as I don’t have to do anything.”
Philanthropy is what should be encouraged….don’t put anymore taxes/money in the hands of worthless bureaucrats.

Four out of seven ain’t bad.

Five out of seven is even better.

So much for the Buffet Rule, we have a new definition of wealthy…. $15 million and above.
Either she has had a major loss of marbles, or never had any to begin with. God help this country if she is elected.
shame she’s likely to get it since Brown is a jackass that thumbed his nose that those that supported him. Race is his to lose and it looks like that is already done.
She is not wealthy, she is “very wealthy,” see the difference? Someday she hopes to be “very, very wealthy.”
Elizabeth Warren is a liberal Communist
Elizabeth Warren and b.frank are of the same sex
I sent money to Scott Brown last time, but never again.
How could she be worse than BROWN?
If she wins…what the hell is the difference between her and Brown? He is proud to be a RINO!
She will beat Scott Brown easily.
He has lost all the support he once had from Massachusetts Republicans, when he abandoned them and stabbed us all in the back.
So, Brown is a medium Democrat – and she is less than medium and close to being a wacked out Liberal – We need them in the Senate to wake people up to the threats of total Socialism. Obama, Reid, schumer are doing well to crash the Democrat Party.
Let them elect or put up for display the most radical
The nerve of people is crippling.
The difference is she is a media whore that lacks style,class and a stint in rehab.
So, she’s a liar — no worries –she’ll fit right in with the likes of Reid, Durbin and Schumer. Nothing to see here — move along…
It’s not the same! You’re comparing apples to oranges! She EARNED that money! She’s not as rich as Romney! She has a social conscience! It’s an unfair comparison! Wahhhhhhhh!
Conservative wealthy = >250K
Liberal wealthy = >∞
It doesn’t matter if she wins, kids….because (wait for it) we’ll have a SENATE FULL OF TEA PARTY CONSERVATIVES in November. Oh, and we’ll be increasing our Tea Party majority in the House as well, so she won’t be able to do *too* much damage. Optimism, people. Optimism.

no liberal Communist has a conscience,their baby killers
Elizabeth Warren as all the liberal democrats are dead from the neck up !
So she giving us her money??? hay Elizabeth Warren, I am FIRST IN LINE—I NEED AT LEAST 3 MILLION — LET YOU BE = TO ME—SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!
She’s not the 1% because she’s a liberal. That’s it. Being a conservative is the only way into that club. Hey guess what? George Soros is also very very rich. Oddly their anger was never focused on him either.
She’s worth 14.5 million, and she wants to be in politics?
Shit, for a fraction of that, I’d be on a houseboat in the Keys
And think I was insanely rich!!
@Xerocky
Or S’more. Or Spielberg. Or Gates. As long as you toe the liberal line, the double standard protects you.
The real 99% have better things to do then running aound in stupid masks camping on public lands and acting like pigs the real 99% have jobs and families to support
The definition of rich is: people who make more than I do. That is why Roseanne Barf said anyone who has $ 100 million should be guillotined,- you see, she is not one of those Evil Rich People, she only has $75 million!!
Based on 2009 tax data, an income (AGI) of $343,927.00 or more places you in the top 1%.
Based solely on her income from Harvard, $429,000 , Elizabeth Warren is a 1%-er.
Top 1% $343,927.00 or more with an average tax rate of 24.01%
Top 5% $154,643.00 or more with an average tax rate of 20.46%
Top 10% $112,124.00 or more with an average tax rate of 18.05%
Top 25% $ 66,193.00 or more with an average tax rate of 14.68%
Top 50% $ 32,396.00 or more with an average tax rate of 12.50%
For Progressives like Warren, if you say it enough times, it becomes the truth. Or you’re delusional….
Commiecrats have an inherent need to lie…she’ll make a perfect politician.
Perhaps she should take all her accumulated wealth and take out loans in her children’s names and pour it down some liberal pipe dream rathole, like she wants us to do. Or perhaps she doesn’t believe a single word that comes out of her own mouth because at the end of the day all she believes is “some animals are more equal than others.”
As for the Occupiers they are the worst of every world, even the Communist would send them to the gulag for wasting precious resources on college degrees that do not add anything to society while still expecting society to pay for them. They would be the first to go if the revolution they want actually happened, alas, the fate of the useful idiot.
I swear every liberal has the heart of a firebug and takes much glee from the thought of lighting it on fire and watching it burn. Unlike every conservative I know that only sees the loss and backbreaking work needed to make things right again, but is still the first to pick up the shovel and get rebuilding.
Very scary having her in the Senate. Scott Brown is a demotard, but she is a progressive Cruela De’Ville. Evil.
As a barely top 1% myself (income over $350 K last year), the hell with this woman. She is definitely rich. Please. Lives in a House worth 5 Million! I live in a house worth $280 k.
Why should you contribute or vote for Scott Brown instead of her— FOR 1 very good reason—because she will vote for Harry Reid for Majority Leader, and Brown will vote for the Republican. Hello! Argue with that logic! Reid sets the legislative agenda.
This bitch “earned” $429,000 from Harvard?!?! No wonder tuition is skyrocketing. No wonder Johnny had to go $100,000 into debt to get a degree in pupperty, this bitch took all the money for herself!
Just remember,she couldn’t have made all that stash without grabbermint help therefore it isn’t really wealth wealth.
I feel for the mass. conservatives,
if there are any left
but scottie needs to be turned out because he is a fake
and to send a message to all the other liars who rode in on tea party coattails
Purge baby Purge
“I realize there are some wealthy individuals – I’m not one of them, but some wealthy individuals who have a lot of stock portfolios” she told him
========================================================
It’s relative. See?
####################################
I know I’m on the edge of crazy, but really I consider myself exceedingly wealthy compared to her.
Just saying.
Someone liberal eugenic scientists are taking a serious look at cloning , along with pelosi and wasserman , just to aggravate the shit out of conservatives .
The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
@dba
money is fungible. Figuring out how to screw your fellow citizens takes just as much effort as doing something productive. It may even be harder than honest work, it left her bat shit crazy.
off point – if Romneycare is so utterly brilliant and desirable why did the inmates of Massachusetts send Brown – who specifically campaigned against Obamacare – to the senate? I’d like to see Santorum ask that question.
Hopefully, God will check in soon – take heart, he does care about us.
God bless America, our troops, Israel, and decent fellow humans everywhere.
Pathetic lying POS. Where does she work now? Oh, I get it. But not really. She and her ilk don’t even bother to pretend they’re not lying anymore. Thanks for that, sycophantic MSM water carriers. How very pathetic. She’s obviously got her sights set on carrying on the B Frank Mass tradition of bend over politics to the fullest. No pun intended, of course.
She’s not particularly bright either.
Scott Brown is weak in the polls because he is Democrat Lite. Who wants a lite beer when you have a dark lager?
Let’s see… This state produces lib after lib after lib. The next one to come along is mittens. I won’t vote for him, or anyone from that liberal cesspool.
Millions of $s are being pumped in to pump up this b*t**h.
The ONLY way she loses is if millions more to go to Scotty Brown. I have no nagging desire to help. Mass-
holes will “do their thing”. At least a Kennedy spawn
is not on the ballot….but they’ll be coming soon.
Massachusetts is a lost cause. If either one of these fools changes their name to Kennedy they will garner 70% of the vote and have a safe seat for life. The best hope is for containment. I want New Hampshire to build an electric fence and minefield on the border with Mass and keep the morons out.
