"There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You
built a factory out there -- good for you. But I want to be clear. You
moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You
hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your
factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us
paid for. You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and
seize everything at your factory... Now look. You built a factory and it
turned into something terrific or a great idea -- God Bless! Keep a Big
Hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a
hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along."

- Elizabeth Warren, next Democratic U.S. Senator from Massachusetts


Nice to hear in such clear terms. She's going to destroy Brown.

If it's Brown, flush it down.


You bet. If only we could. Scott is white by the way.
