Yes, that Hypocrite, Warren, hasn't built anything of note. And when she stands on her soap box and accuses founders of companies for living off the "contributions" of the workforce, she, herself, lives the "Grand Life" of a Senator paid for, ultimately, by the American taxpayers. And those taxes also come from those self same founders and managers of companies that she points her well manicured fingers at. Now if those founders, et al, are possibly taking advantage of "loop holes" in the Tax Laws and AVOIDING paying as much tax as others would like, then I suggest that the relevant "loop holes" be interrogated and where necessary closed. But Tax Avoidance is NOT AGAINST THE LAW !! So if anyone has a problem with tax "loop holes", and is in a prime position to do something about it, then flippin' well DO SOMETHING and stop going on about it. What is against the law is TAX EVASION, and that's where the authorities can step in and do their job ... And one last point, the vast majority of those individuals who started up companies based on their own ideas and innovative spirit, etc, etc, and who are now extremely rich, didn't start off life extremely rich. Many started off as poor or average earners. And as a result of building up their businesses they can now be the source of many hundreds of thousands of jobs, and many millions of dollars of tax revenue. Idiots like Warren have this self serving tendency to regard being rich as some form of 'Sin' .... and as I've shown, she. herself, could be quite a Big Sinner !!!1
