"Childcare is infrastructure." Perfect and succinct way to put it.
but as the GOP asks - would George Washington have approved (after all - he is silent about electric cars...)
@@davidm3118 personally, I think trying to postulate what a man who has been dead for 222 years would think about specific circumstances involving our country that now has over 62x the population and societal advancements that couldn't even be dreamed of is both pure conjecture and not helpful or relevant. I understand the sentiment, I do. But it's hard to not impart one's own views when imagining these things, considering nobody alive has actual context for how issues facing us now are similar or different to issues we've had in our early history, nor are we completely sure how these historical figures ACTUALLY were beyond the records we have. (People of course are always more complicated than a singular narrative). Extrapolating the opinions of the dead will always be a gray area, and therefore a pretty difficult argument to lean on for policy-making. Also not saying that there aren't other arguments against Warren's points, but I just don't think an opinion on a dead person's maybe-opinion cuts it.
ask anyone with preschool-aged children or young school-aged children what they need to go to work. I guarantee childcare will be one of the most important.
@@davidm3118 i don’t care if george washington would’ve approved or not lol
She is so well spoken and so knowledgeable with the issues, I hope she can keep pushing for these necessary changes.
She must have been a great teacher. So enthusiastic and explains everything so clearly.
I was literally just thinking the same thing!
As a retired teacher myself, I totally agree! ⭐️
There's footage of her giving academic talks and just explaining stuff like credit card contract law. And yes, she's really really good at it. Those people at Harvard generally know who's good at this stuff.
She was Rep. Katie Porter’s teacher. Katie is during a great job too, her and her white board
She was. You can find some of her lectures about economics and the middle class floating around on RUclips and I highly recommend them, even if you aren't big into economics/finance stuff. She kept them accessible and entertaining and it'll give you a really good idea of how strong her background is when it comes to financial matters.
Nothing wrong with being rich. Most people would like to be rich. But when they don’t contribute their fair share it’s not only wrong and unfair. It’s evil and hurts the country
It is indeed. It's just common sense, man. If you can afford to give more to society, and still be well off, I don't see the problem with that.
I love fancy shit as much as the next guy. But I pay my taxes and those who are richer than me should pay at least as much as I pay.
Some say that rich people will flee the country and take all their money with them if they are taxed too high. How do you prevent that?
@@SeansModelBuilds love it or leave it. That's what. Wipe the propaganda off your face.
@@SeansModelBuilds UK viewer here. We have the whenever there's a general election - rich people swearing that they'll leave the country if a high taxation government gets elected. But even if that happens they *don't* leave. Fact is that most of them spend less than half their time here and are registered for tax somewhere like Monaco so they don't pay tax here anyway. It's just political bluster.
$50 TRILLION DOLLARS in offshore accounts. Never mind new laws, also needed are funds for the IRS and SEC to apply the existing ones.
good thing part of her plan was to give them extra funding specifically for that purpose.
@@rulerchop4032 I understand, however IRS funding doesn't need as much legislation. Our entire debt is $27 while $50 is overseas.... We can pay off our entire US debt over the last century twice over. It's crazy.
@@fahadkelantan The legislation part is in addition to giving IRS more funding. She's attacking on multiple fronts so that if one avenue fails, others can still potentially succeed. To me, it just looks like she's being thorough.
they need to do something about the shell companies and offshore havens. I understand diversifying your companies and assets, but it shouldn't be so hard to find out who, what and where a company is. If you are selling or buying to others, others should be able to find out who you are. Why is this hard? Why do they have to hide if everything is legit?
Senator Warren looks just as energetic and elegant as she did at her rally I attended in Seattle back in Feb. 2020. Bravo!
🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍
@@mortyfromthed Yes, having to use actual words and sentences IS hard, isn't it?
@@telectronix1368 You dropped your mic lol!
@@mortyfromthed Have you found "Q" yet?
@splat apuss Perhaps that's so (whatever your motivation for comment)
Delightful interview!
Thank you
Absolutely agree! Delightful and thought-provoking. Be safe 🙏
Don't you just love Elizabeth Warren. How unique, a genuine politician.
Sssssssss..... 🐍 🐍 🐍 🐍 🐍 🐍 🐍
She was my first choice!
She's exceptional!
@@lynnhettrick7588 Mine too! It was such an honor to canvass and phone bank for her during the primaries in NV.
I respect people supporting her up until Super Tuesday. At that point to support her undermined the progressive movement massively and shame on her for not endorsing Bernie then. Her policies are mostly excellent it’s just a shame she is a careerist now
keep fighting the good fight, Elizabeth.
You know she'll never stop. She is absolutely tireless. I met her and spoke with her briefly. She's the real deal.
Uuuwwww wow, sane people talking to one another about things that matter to the rest of us. I like it!
. I like her a lot. I tried to tell anyone I could about her but people don’t like to talk about politics 😑. We need to talk about this stuff!
Yes and people need to listen. There does seem to be a lack of empathy in the US ... and when someone shows empathy they're hit with the "communism" label.
I find her to be very underrated.
She's been fighting for consumers and to hold corporations to account for years.
I love watching her stick it to CEOs and CFOs during those senate hearings over the years
@@NEbluefire She is not a woman of color so she is dismissible? I'm sorry, but that is just not true. As if being a woman of color makes the establishment listen to you more? Elizabeth Warren has not been dismissed. First of all, she is a US Senator, which makes her one of the most powerful voices in the country. And among senators, she has one of the highest profiles in the US Senate. She wasn't able to win the Democratic nomination, but when she talks people do listen to her.
'Persist' is a great title. I'm just happy that I get the reference.
Her Special Ed. background coupled with her legal expertise makes her highly qualified to deal with Congress members right now 🤨
I feel like this is an insult to special needs kids, lol
@@nitidiuscula yeah it doesnt make you feel great lol
😅👏
If Amazon’s CEO can afford a yacht big enough to hold another yacht, they can afford to pay their fair share of taxes.
And their staff a living wage plus some
Isn't that obscene? Sounds like robber baron behavior to me.
If Americans really cared about employees getting fair pay and not, for example, being crushed out of unionisation, they would boycott Amazon.
But the good ol' USA folks just. don't. really. care.
And Bezos knew that perfectly well while he leeched billions out of the company instead of basic working and pay standards.
@@telectronix1368 Some people can't afford to just simply boycott. These sort of "solutions" are classist and don't strike at the actual root cause. If the system worked no one would need to boycott.
@@AndrewGordonBellPerc 😂
That is SUCH bullshit.
No one "has" to use Amazon.
What a feeble attempt at shirking responsibility.
Im still a fan of hers! Half my house voted Warren, the other voted Sanders in the dem race! I loved her "plans!" From one teacher to another, and from one momma to another, we love you #ElizabethWarren 😍❤
Warren is so lovable and relatable.
She bypasses the lies and distractions the GOP have applied to the process to keep what it stole for Trump and keeps us focused on what will save us. And it's not Trump although she never says his name. I appreciate that.
Every time I hear Senator Warren speak I always feel so impressed with her clarity, her vision, her intelligence, her no-nonsense approach to solving problems. I'm so glad she was able to go to law school and become a Senator. We need more like her!
As a mother who has had to start and stop her education multiple times I love hearing Senator Warren speak up about her struggles and how we need to fix this problem in America.
Yea so let's use my tax money to fix YOUR problems. Profits from companies are sent out to shareholders which are mostly made up of soon to retire and those who already have. They know as I do that social security will run out. So let's cut back on my income so it can be used to support your kids. hey lady, you birthed these children, you take care of them and stop being so selfish and do something for yourself and use your money, NOT MINE
@@patrickmerritt3663 Says the guy who's like : "Everything is mine, mine and all mine", and you're the one who calls others selfish ? Let me laugh.
Go watch other countries. High wealth redistribution via taxes works to remove poverty, ignorance, crime and increase quality of life, peacefulness, and a society's overall pool of skill and talent.
You're the one being unbelievably selfish with your statement, because you just center everything around you. I wonder if you paid for every dime of service you got in your life. The reality is : probably not, and if you think you did, you probably overlooked a ton of stuff.
Wonder how you'd feel at one point if there was no doctor around to help you because there was no money to teach those newcomers since it was all in your bank account.
And before you say that most of the money in companies goes to retirees... Man, I wish that were true. It's just not the case. There's plenty of evidence for that.
Do educate yourself before spewing nonsense BS.
@@Damorann You may be my spirit animal.
Where did I say everything is mine?. DO you have to put words into other people's mouths so you can only hear what you want to say? Redistribution, in other words, socialism, kills the individual spirit of innovation and self-worth. do a study on depression in Scandinavian countries and the rate of absenteeism from work on any given day. Your Eldorado and Shangra la exist in the same place that sleeping beauty and Rapunzel dwell. Besides that as usual, you missed the gist of my comment and actually typed out that I am selfish for not wanting to be financially responsible for someone else's children at the expense of my own. You took so much for granted with your moronic rant that I would be willing in all honesty for whatever you need to graduate into 6th grade
@@patrickmerritt3663 If you are spending time in RUclips comments, you are not the kind of neurotically greedy, deplorably privileged, uber-wealthy person that Warren and other Progressives are talking about. If you were, you would be out doing rich people sh, not arguing with people in the same class as you. You will not be taxed any more than you are now. If I'm wrong and you ARE rich enough to be affected by the proposed tax increases, you must be the most annoying guy at the country club.
Amazing woman brings so much hope to US politics.
Fun fact: Over the past 10 years, Amazon paid an effective tax rate of 4.7%.
Bonus fun fact: If you made $12,000 last year, you paid 12% in taxes, more than double Amazon.
Unbelievable! And totally totally wrong and unfair
Well, that's not the whole story. They should pay the posted corporate tax rate, sure. But the way you present it is false.
Americans, mostly, just don't care.
@@telectronix1368 I think a lot of them are busy trying to keep up with life that they've never given it much thought AND it wasn't until the internet exploded that the information has become more available, but also discussed in ways that regular people can comprehend. lol. When you tell people their tax dollars are subsidizing the work force of one of the richest families in the world...people understand that is F'd up.
@@justmemadison 'trying to keep up with life'
Or....."but I really want it delivered NOW"
When he said, "Big structural change" and she responded by rubbing her hands together with her tongue sticking out I just couldn't stop laughing. That was so perfect.
Let's see....while Amazon pays no tax, I'm trying to survive on a little over 24k a year & IRS mistakenly took a double payment for my federal. I'm anxiously waiting for it to be returned. No yacht for me this year.
who does your taxes
I am so glad we have someone like her in the Senate. I would have voted for her as president, but I too think she is better for us in the Senate. Buy her book!!!
Canadian citizen here : it's crazy to see our next door neighbor the US still thinking about basic concepts like child care and health health. My girlfriend and I are planning to have a child in the next 2 years and she will have a 12 months paid maternity leave. If any of us get sick, we have a free health care system. Yes, we all pay more in taxes, but the cost of living is fine. Education is cheap in Quebec, you can get a 3 years bachelors degree for around 10,000$ USD and get a job right after...I feel like this is a deal a lot of people would take if only they knew.
Wow, taxation with representation. What next will those Americans think of?
LOVE Warren!!!!
It's nice to have a politician who is actually human and has regular people experiences and struggles. One of the few ways to feel relatable to someone of her caliber
Looooollll
Senator Warren is so intelligent, articulate, compassionate and conceptual. Still pine for her to be our nation’s President, but ever grateful for her service in the Senate. Thank you Massachusetts!
Warren would be a wonderful POTUS and her hair looks great too.
I supported her in race for POTUS but realized as the 2020 race progressed that she needed to be protected. None of us was safe from the Trump Train but Joe was the right person to save us. Now in the Senate Warren is the force in nature we need to support Joe and Co. It is working out. I agree she would make a very appropriate POTUS.
She should be putting out a book on 'How to make a plan'.
She doesn't even need to - every other politician gets to just go, "I think we should do ______!" and then copy off Liz's homework because she's already written a paper on that - and she doesn't care if you copy her work.
We need Senator Warren in the Senate so she can do the job for us. I would have voted for her. However, having her in Senate is really more important. And I used the M&M method with my own child!
Me too! Led to a lot of fake pees once he figured it out!
I feel the same about Stacey Abrams; she would have made a great Governor of GA but what she accomplished for the 2020 election would never have occurred if she were Governor.
She could have done a lot more as President than in the Senate. If she had won and vacated her Senate seat, she was pretty clearly grooming Ayanna Pressley to take her spot in the Senate.
I had planned to vote for her until about three days before my state's primary. Unfortunately, she was too far below the viability threshold in the polls¹, & my state doesn't have ranked choice voting, so I decided to go with the strategic choice.
¹And I'd been following the polls for a year by then, because apparently I hate myself, so I felt confident in my estimation.
I'm 42 and I still use the M&M method. I'm not sure if I need it anymore, but i eat a bag of M&Ms every time I'm on the shitter, and I haven't crapped my pants in at least a decade.
Tax the billionaires and corporations!
Yes! Socialism is the solution!
Amen
And the deca-millionaires the same
She got fired for being pregnant? WTF??!?
Women who got pregnant were expected to resign from their jobs. If they didn't, they were fired. The U.S. Congress passed the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (P.L. 95-555) made that illegal in 1978. But it still happens. My co-worker in 2001 was fired while she was on maternity leave. The company got around it by (A) having better lawyers and (B) claiming that they didn't fire her but eliminated her whole department (which consisted of her and me). You have to sue your employer if they fire you for being pregnant. In 2014 a bill was passed by Congress to prevent this kind of discrimination. But of course it has not been made Federal Law because the conservatives want women to stay poor and dependent upon them.
she didn't. she's a liar. like, all the time. lol
I got fired for being pregnant just two years ago. Of course that’s not what they said.. but that’s why. Anyway, I didn’t want to work while pregnant anyway.. it fucking sucked.
@@HaRDc0r3z proof or stfu. Women absolutely get fired for being pregnant even tho it's illegal.
when my mum got married in 1959 in Australia she was forced to retire from her teaching job. in anticipation of getting pregnant and staying home to look after husband and kids. women were also officially paid 75% of men's wages. it took quite a while for both of these things to change.
in a large corporate job I had a few years ago, a company that was an 'employer of choice for women, there were large scale redundancies - every woman I knew of on maternity leave or pregnant just happened to be made redundant.
"Nicely done, Stephen Colbert!' .... Yup, that lady was a teacher for sure XD
Adults discussing topics that matter to our daily existence... I fear I will wake from this dream
Beau of the fifth column reminded me of the first rule of the industrialist:
“There is one rule for the industrialist and that is: make the best quality of goods possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages possible.” -Henry ford
Henry Ford paid his employees well enough to afford the cars they were making. That’s smart business
Henry Ford also said that stockholders are parasites.
@@grateful954 Bezos makes sure his employees can't afford to shop anywhere but Amazon. Goverment needs to step in and regulate to break that cycle because the working class are kept powerless.
How about paying your taxes?
@@tenkloosterherman blame the system, the corporation will do what is possible to cut costs. Profit is their literal reason for existence. Government needs to stop giving tax cuts and customers need to be more picky with their purchase choices. If I try to get my cat to walk through a maze to get a treat and it jumps over the walls instead I made my maze bad the cat is not at fault.
Always good to hear a conversation with Sen. Warren. An inspired truth teller.
The struggle is real. I used to have her energy and enthusiasm. Hit roadblocks that leave me in student loan debt with a 1st grader. I’m over 50. Already had 3 orthopedic surgeries including full knee replacement. I care for my elderly mother and property. Pandemic=homeschool. We are book lovers and have bountiful classroom supplies and such so that’s good. Watching the war against our beloved democracy has been beyond devastating. I was born in D.C. could see the monument from my front yard growing up. I was the kid that couldn’t wait to go to school. I have vivid memories of my first day of K. I’m so frustrated,...idc...hit send
and I live in Tennessee 😑
When she says Steven, she sounds like his 2nd grade teacher!
I have watched multiple Senator Warren interviews from different late night show hosts recently and all of them cut her off many times, except Stephen Colbert. Thank you Stephen!
".... I was teaching for the next year... Got pregnant... Got fired"
Whoa. _what?_
That’s what happened; if you got married, you got fired, if you got pregnant, you got fired.
Women used to routinely get fired for being pregnant. In the US, a law against pregnancy discrimination did not come into play until the late 1970s. (It still happens nowadays but it's more rare.)
@@MorningAngel Today they discriminate but like racism they have learned how to do it discretely. You get less than desirable tasks etc
Yup.
@@jgaffney567 Absolutely. I know it sadly still happens but employers do it in a way that is harder to prove what's happening.
Love or hate her policies, her voice makes me feel like I just walked into grandmas place and I'm about to get a life lesson pep-talk I didn't know I needed (in a good way).
@0:39 the "teacher" is strong in this one...
"After I've seen him do 34, I'll believe he can do 35." - Senator Warren, being probably most trusting of a Republican senator than I would be.
This is our moment ✌♥️ from Montana
I can always rely on Steven asking intelligent questions. He is an underrated interviewer.
Warren, we're not the ones you have to convince. Talk to Manchin and Sinema.
Hey Colbert social media team, the title of Warren’s book is improperly conjugated in the description.
I really like this “plan” of new goals every 100 days! Would LOVE to see completed government agendas and new improvements coming with 100 day goals!!
And no “half” pushups for Chuck….gotta have standards!
Absolutely right Senator, it's time for the uber rich to pay their fair share.
Way beyond time.
🤞still hopeful that Senator Warren will be our first woman president
LIZ, I had childcare problems 35 years ago.
Working fulltime.
Wow - shouldn't be getting sacked because you're pregnant. Is that legal? Childcare should be free to enable a mother to go back to work/education - what is wrong with USA? When my daughter went to primary school, breakfast at breakfast club was free, because I worked and afterschool club (until I finished work) was 80 cents per hour. Summer school would be around €25 for the whole summer holiday (not available the first and last week, though).
Kudos to whoever did her highlights and roots. She looks great!
I love her enthusiasm. Her second to last closing statement was rough to imagine.
As a young mother, going back to school for an education degree, I ran into the same problem. Campus daycare insisted all the kids were potty trained. All I needed was childcare for 2 hours, twice a week. My disabled child who was 3 had everything in place but could not walk. After being turned down by church daycares, I begged the campus daycare to take her. At most she had to be lifted from her stroller and sat in the floor to play. After a few weeks into the semester the daycare workers complained so much when she needed help and the first time she asked to go to the bathroom, that they told me she couldn't return to daycare. I had no choice. My 3 year old daughter started attending college classes with me. She was an angel. She never disturbed. Just sat there silently coloring, playing, looking at books, eating a snack, taking a stroller nap. Thank God none of my professors minded. I got my degree in elementary education degree a year later and ended up teaching at the school she eventually attended. Thank God I found a woman who babysat while I did my student teaching. Several years later, when her brother was born, I faced the same problem and had to take a year off from teaching because there was no childcare in my rural community. A neighbor babysat for a few months, then after some bouncing around a local church opened a daycare. It was so expensive! It took more than half my salary. Thank God we weren't a single income family at that point.
Since then I was able to teach 25 years and looking at retirement soon. My daughter has long since graduated from the same university she sat in class as a pre-schooler. My son is a senior there.
Daycare in small, rural communities is often scarce and the reputable childcare facilities are almost too expensive for mothers to work. Definitely a problem America needs to address.
If there'd been the type of child care this amazing woman is speaking about a decade-and-a-half ago it would have helped my family and immensely!
Mine too. Had ti drop out whrn I could not fund childcare.
My Warren for President bumper sticker will stay on my car until it falls off! Love you Senator Warren.
I love that story. For my ittle girl it was Rainbow Bright undies. Lol. Trained in under a week.
"childcare is infrastructure" is a pretty good takeaway 👍
I can do 35 push-ups too. I need a week. 5 per day.
Give me about a month
Trickle down economics tax breaks for the rich that already use tax shelter. It has never help our economy except for the uber wealthy. How much money do you really need?
I’ll never forget how she hammered at
Mike Bloomberg during that horrible debate!!!
Wasn't that a fantastic moment?
She lost my vote and support forever at that moment!!!!
Absolutely can’t stand her!!!!
Jeez, that childcare story. Terrible.
One of Elizabeth Warren's many talents is being relatable. I don't have kids and have no idea what people go through in their search for child care, so I'm soooooo glad we have (some, not enough) politicians who do.
Is it legal in USA to fire someone when they're pregnant? Do they not have rights to protect them?
I would be really interested in a tax plan that penalizes corporations for paying poverty wages.
In that case, be sure to work with other countries to come up with a fair system. Otherwise Amazon will just become another fine Irish company just like Apple.
That sounds an awful like the argument against better gun laws - "Criminals will always find a way to get guns so it doesn't matter if we have gun laws in place. They don't work!" Yes, let's not hold the wealthy and corporations to account because they might prove they're terrible by moving their wealth to countries where they can exploit tax loopholes to increase their personal wealth. 🙄🙄🙄🙄
I mean, no.
Well... Yes.
Wait, sorry. Let me explain.
That's what they are already doing.
They could just move the company, period. As opposed to having it incorporated or whatever in another country.
Like move all of their property. Ect. But they would still be doing business in the USA in the same way.
Even then I'm 99% sure they would still need to pay tax on sales. Idk if they do or not currently.
But I do assume that's the one thing they pay already.
Anyways. The problem just already is what you described.
They already aren't a company of the USA (or however you want to say it) and don't hold their money there. So the combination of the two, plus a few other clever financial tricks like investing and taxbreaks, means they don't have to pay any tax.
The problem is just. How do we fix that though? Do we force a company to have the headquarters in the USA if they want to do business there?but who cares because it's the money we want them to keep in the USA.
Then what about foreign companies.?
Same thing with forcing a company to keep their money in a certain place. On what grounds can you do that? Who's to say where someone can or can not keep their money. Especially if we haven't solved that first part and they don't even own a company in the USA, technically.
Law is a complicated spiderweb of rules that, when used correctly, can be made to reinforce each other in such a way as to make them appear impenetrable.
Of course I'm not saying we shouldn't try!
I only wanted to ask you to consider how hard it is as it helps understand the complications.
🎩👌
You have to either stop a country from going elswhere or force them to come back.
Then we're left with the fact that it's extremely hard if not completely impossible to force or convince every country to do the same. So there will always be somewhere for them to go.
It really sucks to think about. Because I believe you always end up with the conclusion that the entire system needs to be remade at worse or tweeked all the way through at best, just to fix the issue.
🎩👌
Biden wants to shut down these loopholes, and its about time! I say reconsider the laws of Corporations in general so they cannot use locations that give them favorable tax haven in a particular state as well
Other countries **already** apply taxation policies where, if a company isn't paying their due tax in their home country they are then taxed where they actually base their operations.
And, conversely, if a company decides to operate in a 'low tax location' overseas their home government increases their taxes accordingly.
It's only in 'USA world' where these sorts of policies seem like a strange, "new" idea.
@@telectronix1368
wait xD
Yes, of course most countries don't allow it. But it's not all countries. That's what tax havens are.
That's the point.
"only in USA"
"other governments increase their taxes accordingly"
"Taxed by country they are in insted of country owed that tax"
Ok.
I'll start by saying that I'm not sure how a separate country collecting tax owed to another government helps this problem at all.
I don't think a company is going to choose one of those countries that would collect it. That's the whole point.
If the USA is having this problem then there are "other countries" who allow it. And if you don't stop every country from sheltering tax it doesn't matter.
Also. How do you have a home country "increase tax" on a single company avoiding paying it if they don't hold their company in your country or bank accounts in a bank that will talk to you?
I could be wrong, but I don't think you understand how tax evasion works, friend.
And that's ok. It sounds like it's not a problem in your country.
But the entire problem is:
1. That they are in a country that will not cooperate with the home country.
2. They don't have money in home country to increase tax on.
(Plus, politicians are scared to be the one blamed for a company removing jobs if that company needs to move a factory, ect. to avoid someone insisting they are an American company. Although because of the status quo it never has to get that far.)
Combine that with a bunch of other wishy washy policy and tax law bullshit and you have what we have now. A disaster xD
Oh, also. I'm not American. Insult them all you like.
🎩👌
She looks fantastic
Especially considering she's 71!
Warren and my mom used the same tactic, m&ms have probably potty trained so many millenials that they should run an add campaign about it.
I just LOVE her!!!
Elizabeth Warren is one of the few politicians I really like and *respect* - she is smart, savvy, intelligent - glad she is still a senator able to make a different - rather than being a law professor (as she used to be) - plus author - how many books has she written - I really *respect* this strong intelligent woman
So glad she is speaking up about the child care situation. So many times in my life I've been stuck and it was access to safe, reliable child care that freed me up to be able to move forward again. Every time you move, every time you lose a job, every time your babysitter quits or gets a better job ... people who work in service industries and especially at night know what I'm talking about. Having reliable child care is just as important as having reliable transportation and a place to call home for being able to work steadily.
America is fortunate to have Warren, Biden, Sanders, AOC, Katie Porter, Pete, Harris, so many people with good ideas and the will to help people and get America back from the brink of dictatorship. I live in Australia and we still have a government that lives in the 19th century.
I miss you, Elizabeth. I look forward to reading your book. Thank you for all you do.
You do know that she's going to try to pay as little tax as possible on her book proceeds right?
And this is when you say, on cue, that she has every right to make money and if she's following tax law, what's the problem?
The way these people grift you into thinking she's on your side is hilarious.
The wealth class should pay their taxes. For those who are not paying their taxes maybe the Government shouldn't pay them subsidies. Same for those who have sent jobs overseas to make a profit.
People USED to be scared of the IRS.
Elizabeth Warren is extremely intelligent and very patriotic
Interesting. Amazon pay virtually zero corporate taxes here in the UK too. They tell us that they pay full taxes in the US!!
"Nicely done, Stephen Colbert!"
She was my first pick! I love how she says what she has to say in complete thoughts and stops, so the other person can respond!
Joe's doing a great job and the VP. Senator Warren is smart and a breath of fresh air. I kind of thought Bernie Sanders was a bit nut. Just his personality and hair but not his policies.
How is the republican politicians for anyone except themselves? They don't represent the people.
Bravo!
YEA!!! A book with a one word title. Finally. Not: Persist, One Woman's Plans to Plan a Plan. Just Persist. Thank you, I hope others follow your example.
Amazon is looking at her too. And listening. SHE OWNS AN ALEXA.
YES! Childcare IS infrastructure care!
New description of infrastructure: Broadband as a necessary utility(AND FREE), available AFFORDABLE childcare, and AFFORDABLE health care through ACA expansion. Along with repairing roads and bridges....sounds about right!
Was the comment on Chuck Grassley´s 34th push-up a reference to his repeatedly stringing the Dems along on false hopes of compromises only to back out at the last minute?
In Canada buying a yacht used to be a tax deductible business expense. Maybe in the US it still is. In that case having a support yacht for your yacht makes perfect sense from a taxation point of view.
I like her. I need to buy her book.
"You want people to go to work, we've got to have childcare in America". I'd only add that it has to be affordable. My wife has a master's degree, and after we paid for childcare for only ONE child, her first job basically ONLY paid for that childcare and the cost of commuting. She was working just so she could build the resume. The only other choice is to leave your resume blank from the time the first child is born until your last child is old enough for school so you only need to pay for aftercare. For some people that can be a decade.
Amazon, I am watching you too. And hopefully, others will also.
Transportation for people in rural areas is something that would expand the Democratic base in "red" states. I went through this in Maine when I had to drive without a lice to get to college which I earn a nervous 4.0.
I love, Love, LOVE Elizabeth Warren!!!
Why aren't they paying their fair share? People have 2 & 3 jobs & can't even support themselves, this needs to change asap!
I'm inclined to think that taxing the rich isn't good enough. That's just nibbling away at the edges and doesn't solve the real problem. What needs to be done is we need to break their grip on political power...and that means campaign finance reform.
make sure to change the late show description sometime so that it says the late show is available on “paramount plus” rather than “cbs all access”
Someone mentioned that Amazon gets a pass because they had losses for so many years. So my question is, how many more billions of dollars before that cancels out??
Ironically, Amazon is the only way I can have her book. Unless, have they made it available overseas already?😔😅
