(94,269 posts)...and I think that's just nonsense to portray it as mere emotion. I would say, though, that Americans like myself ARE angry at Congress' continued catering to the wealthy interests over working-class citizens.
What Sen. Warren has been diligent and forceful in outlining are valid and precient abuses of our financial system by wealthy and corporate interests at the expense of the middle-class and others stuck in the bottom rungs of the economic ladder. Statements like this appear to be a diversion from efforts to address those inequities and abuses. We should push back forcefully and not be dissuaded from aggressively challenging those special interests at every opportunity and instance; refused to be cowed by patronizing talk about 'angry' approaches and other dissmissive nonsense.
