So what? Wealthy people have a range of political views - just like everyone else. Some people aren't entirely motivated by their own financial gain or self-interest.

That's pretty amazing for anyone. Did she get an inheritance from the Cherokee Nation?
I want some, on-account-of - I'm 4 times the Cherokee that Warren is.
Wealth, not income.

Agreed, and unless she's exacerbating the problem, there's no hypocrisy. Just because she makes a lot of money does not mean she's causing income inequality.

Why are all of these "income inequality" drum beaters all millionaires?

"Socialism is for the people, not the socialists!"
Or maybe she's not a socialist?

She's a phony. None of these far left hypocrites are willing to give most of their wealth away to the unfortunate that they claim to be looking out for with big government. They live like kings and queens

Or, is she ceo of a company that pays her hundreds of times more than its employees? Is she a Wall Street exec making millions for shuffling paper?

The majority are including those that hope to get more handouts.

She didn't build that! She needs to take some of that money to help build roads and bridges.

By now everyone should be realizing that both the political left and the political right are on the same, but different sides, of the 'coin' that is about power and control. The partisan bickering is for the useful pawns who think that their party is better than the other.
