re: Elizabeth Warren's 11 Commandments of Progressivism

quote:

---

- "We believe that Wall Street needs stronger rules and tougher enforcement, and we're willing to fight for it."

---

Like more QE money?

quote:

---

- "We believe in science, and that means that we have a responsibility to protect this Earth."

---

Trying to con people into believing they are destroying the Earth is not science.

quote:

---

- "We believe that the Internet shouldn't be rigged to benefit big corporations, and that means real net neutrality."

---

The internet isn't rigged everyone is free to use it. Net neutrality is just more regulations more government control.

quote:

---

- "We believe that no one should work full-time and still live in poverty, and that means raising the minimum wage."

---

Which will lead to price inflation which will mean people's standard of living will be no better off than it was before. Doesn't do any good to make more money if everything you have to buy is going up in price at the same time.

quote:

---

- "We believe that fast-food workers deserve a livable wage, and that means that when they take to the picket line, we are proud to fight alongside them."

---

That's because you don't understand basic economics just like your last "commandment"

quote:

---

- "We believe that students are entitled to get an education without being crushed by debt."

---

Then maybe you should push your fellow academics to not charge so much for the crappy education they are providing. If they come out of schools thinking like you they are definitely getting ripped off.

quote:

---

- "We believe that after a lifetime of work, people are entitled to retire with dignity, and that means protecting Social Security, Medicare, and pensions."

---

People would have more money to retire if they didn't have to spend their whole adult working lives paying high taxes for these programs.

quote:

---

- "We believe—I can't believe I have to say this in 2014—we believe in equal pay for equal work."

---

You don't have to say it because you're making it up.

quote:

---

- "We believe that equal means equal, and that's true in marriage, it's true in the workplace, it's true in all of America."

---

Equality only exists in math not in life.

quote:

---

- "We believe that immigration has made this country strong and vibrant, and that means reform."

---

If immigration has made this country strong and vibrant then why does it need reform?

quote:

---

- "And we believe that corporations are not people, that women have a right to their bodies. We will overturn Hobby Lobby and we will fight for it. We will fight for it!"

---

If you don't like where you work, quit. In a free country you're free to do so. Stop whining.

quote:

---

And the main tenet of conservatives' philosophy, according to Warren? "I got mine. The rest of you are on your own."

---

That's right. I work too hard for my money to want to hand it over to idiots like you.
