I'm a Liz Warren fan. Root problem: billionaires influencing politics. Warren will address this.

39. Good point. But here's why she's good on these issues.

It’s a good point that the 2% wealth tax won’t have any major short term effect. But it WILL have a long term effect, and it’s an important plank of her platform that is aimed to reduce corruption - the influence of money in politics.

I think this New Republic article does a good job explaining the parts of that platform.

And it highlights that she DOES have policy plans to address money in politics directly.

In a New York magazine profile in July, Warren said that opposing corruption “is becoming a much more defining part of my work.” The next month, she introduced the Anti-Corruption and Public Integrity Act, a sprawling bill that would impose new lobbying requirements, rewrite campaign finance rules, and tackle a wide range of other good-government reforms. In her speech announcing the bill, Warren argued that corruption was not just a by-product of Trump’s rise, but enabled by it as well.

So I think you’re right that money in politics needs to be addressed directly. And I like Warren because she not only addresses the details but also addresses long term, big picture problems with the wealth tax.
