Stop polishing her halo as if she were the savior of the nation. I like her just fine, but give me a fucking break already with the deification of someone who has barely been in the Senate since 2012 and who was a Republican until her mid 40s. Let's say that in the Left's fantasies she gets elected president, and then what????? Will she have a magic wand that will get Congress to go along with her? How many bills that she has sponsored have become law?
Here's the quote:
A crusader for the middle class, U.S. Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren's personal finances were bound to come under scrutiny. Warren raised eyebrows Thursday when she said she isn't a wealthy individual who owns a lot of 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," Warren, a Harvard professor, told MSNBC.
Warren was making a point that members of Congress either shouldn't own stocks, or should put them in a blind trust so that they are not drafting laws that benefit their own investments. But the financial disclosure report Warren filed last month shows that by most people's standards, she's pretty well off.
Warren earned more than $700,000 from Harvard, book royalties and consulting fees, and lives in a $5 million house, the report shows. She has multiple mutual funds and stock in IBM, the sole individual stock she owns. The total portfolio is worth nearly $8 million.

Her net worth in 2011 was $14.5M.
