“Wall Street continues to make campaign ads for Elizabeth Warren.”

For the second time in three weeks, Sen. Elizabeth Warren embraced Wall Street executives’ fear of her potential presidency after CNBC reported Thursday that several anonymous bankers threatened to back President Donald Trump in the 2020 election if Warren becomes the Democratic nominee.

“I think if she can show that the tax code of 2017 was basically nonsense and only helped corporations, Wall Street would not like the public thinking about that.”
—Wall Street executive

CNBC spoke to one executive who said they were considering supporting Trump in the general election fundraising cycle to keep Warren from winning.

“You’re in a box because you’re a Democrat and you’re thinking, ‘I want to help the party, but she’s going to hurt me, so I’m going to help President Trump,'” the executive said.

The executives’ comments illustrated the very political system that the Massachusetts Democrat aims to tear down as president, Warren suggested in a tweet Thursday night.

1. There is a world view implicit in calling yourself a Democrat

Acknowledging that an individual is a part of a larger society and working for solutions that benefit the most people possible has been what has made me a life long Democrat. If you are making so much money that you are benefiting from the 2017 tax cuts and that extra personal wealth is more important to you than the economic health of our entire country, I find it hard to believe that you are not really a Republican.

This article sounds like propaganda against Senator Warren. I’m 62 years old. A small businessman my whole life. I have watched “Capitalists” fight “Socialism “ and “Communism “ with every tool that they possess except self examination. God damn it, Marx and Engle made some good points. If you really want to insure that the American Dream can be a reality, we have to do things a little differently. The hard fact about the 2017 is that it was never about a substantial tax break for anyone but the super wealthy. If these people aren’t smart enough or altruistic enough to view their wealth in terms of the bigger picture, I say fuck em’

Who has the most to gain by making Senator Warren seem scary?

2. John Trudell said it best..........in my opinion........the corporate state...................

I am not looking to overthrow the American government, the corporate state already has, John Trudell- Santee Dakota activist, artist, and poet (1946-2015)
