I thought we passed a comprehensive law in 2010 to rein them in. Is she saying Dodd-Frank is a fraud?

Plus real reform would be if we stopped covering their bad bets with taxpayer money and stopped the revolving door between the Wall Street boardrooms and the West Wing.

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

Agree. You can start with the science that says ethanol is an awful policy, from both an economic and an environmental standpoint.

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

Why can't we stop implementing policies that raise the cost of living? Then you'd not only accomplish the same goal, but the working class and middle class would get some relief.

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."

Free country. Go for it. Nice to see the left support the First Amendment for once.

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

I managed to do that and I didn't come from a rich family.

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."

I agree, people should be able to retire with dignity. So stop taking massive amounts of money from our paychecks. Stop driving up the cost of energy with useless regulations that do nothing to protect the environment. Stop driving up the cost of health insurance. Then we can put away the savings for retirement.

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

I agree, it's a shame women earn less pay for the same work. But if she really believes it, she should start on Capitol Hill, where Democrats are notorious for this type of discrimination. Maybe if libs practiced what they preached, we wouldn't have to say it.

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."

She's against the marriage penalties in the tax code and Obamacare? Wow. I'm starting to think she gets a bum rap.

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

I agree. If only her Lord and Savior had been given the opportunity to address that issue with supermajorities in both houses.

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!"

I'm confused by this one. Hobby Lobby doesn't make any rules about what women can do with their bodies. Insurance companies, on the other hand, do dictate women's healthcare choices. Did insurance companies cease to be corporations, or did she misspeak and mean to say she opposes the individual mandate?

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

That seems to conflict with her prior statement. The philosophy of Hobby Lobby critics is "Gimme, gimme, gimme." And when they get their free birth control pills, they tell everyone with high copays on their prescriptions "Not my problem, pay for it yourself".
