Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!

I’m looking ahead. To the U.S. presidential election in 2016. To the woman that’s gonna replace Barack Obama. And it ain’t Hillary Clinton. Instead, give me Elizabeth Warren, the U.S. senator from Massachusetts. Yes, a liberal. A consumer advocate. And a dreamer. Exactly what we Americans need and deserve in the White House. She’s my heroine. Just behind my Italian true love. When I listen to Warren speak, I’m enthralled by what I hear. So are many others. Evidenced by her getting elected to the U.S. Senate last year.  And what I like most is she’s hated and despised by Republicans. Because they know she’ll be a formidable foe.

Here’s the kind of speech one hears from Warren:

‘There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. ... 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, and hire someone to protect against this, because of the work the rest of us did. 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.’

Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! –Jim Broede
