"In 2008, the earliest year for which Warren has released income tax returns, Warren and her husband had a combined income of $831,208, which increased in 2009 to $981,670. Warren’s net worth as of the end of 2011 was as high as $14.5 million."

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

"Socialism is for the people, not the socialists!"

Default Self proclaimed socialist and leftie hero Lawrence O'Donnell is a millionaire!

"Lawrence Francis O’ Donnell, Jr. is an American political analyst, actor, journalist, producer, writer and show host. He has a net worth of $3 million. Lawrence has earned his fame and wealth by hosting the show called The Last Word with Lawrence O’ Donnell, a news program that is aired on MSNBC. He appeared on MSNBC hosting another show called Countdown."

Another one who rails against "income inequality".

Whats your point? Shes a well known professor, and her husband works at nasa as a engineer.

Maybe the drum beaters are doing it because as millionaires they realize just how far they are form the top....and how far they are from the bottom.

Can you name a Senator who is NOT a millionaire?

I can't. I think all of them are worth at least $1 million dollars, and they are all probably worth more than that.

His point is the fact that most of the people droning on about inequality happen to be rich white liberals who are more than happy to redistribute your wealth as long as no one touches theirs.

The Senators beating the drum should give their money to the people.

Has she introduced any legislation about inequality that exempts her specifically?

The only self-proclaimed socialist I know is Bernie Sanders. When did Warren say she was a socialist?

She went from a little less than a Million dollars in Income to $14.5 Million in only 2 years!!
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.
