'Fight Goes On to Tax the Rich,' Says Warren After Supreme Court Ruling
"Right-wing billionaires hoped an obscure legal case would blow up the tax code to avoid paying what they owe, but this effort failed," said the Democratic senator after the Moore v. United States decision.

$15,000 in taxes from a foreign business they ran overseas. They easily spent ten times that in legal fees, consultants, travel, and expenses fighting the bill.
I have little trust in Warren to mean anything she says.
Well let's see here...
She's spent the majority of her time in the Senate championing holding financial institutions accountable, up to and including asserting that particularly shady bankers should be criminally investigated.
She made the CFPB happen.
She's one of several senators who have attempted to reintroduce a version of the Glass-Steagall act to separate FDIC banks from investment banks and hedge funds (and to shrink them so they can't use government bailouts from the FDIC when they inevitably try to screw you).
Yeah man she ain't perfect. Pretty sure she's got this shit, though.
I'd certainly trust a Senator that's actually done something consistently progressive in US politics over some random commenter on Lemmy who's likely done nothing beyond whining online to force an absurd level of purity on politicians who can't really help being fallible and human sometimes.
Every Democrat can claim they "attempted" some progressive legislation, neoliberals make their entire career around attempting (and then failing) to institute popular progressive legislation. That's the whole concept of having a rotating villain like Manchin or Sinema, you pick just enough senators or house members to stand in the way of the progressive agenda and then everyone else gets to vote for progressive legislation knowing that there's no chance it will pass. They did it even when they have a super majority.
I don't trust Warren because she has not once but twice kneecapped Sanders during his presidential run. That's when her true colors show, when the chips are down and she falls inline with the rest of the DNC establishment.
There was no reason for her to not back the progressive candidate during a primary when it was only Biden and Sanders left. Instead she chose to try to smear Sanders by perpetuating a lie about him telling her that "a woman can't win", then back-peddled as it came out that was a total mischaracterization of what they talked about. It's the same bullshit tactic neoliberals used during his first campaign with the "bernie bros" narrative despite him having a majority of his supporters as women.
I mistrust fake progressives even more than I mistrust the far-right, at least the far-right tells you exactly what they really believe. A fake progressive undermines our ability to push the party towards progressive goals.
Why, Mr. Russian Agent?
Bitch! You the rich!
I don't think you understand how much wealth the 1% are truly hoarding if you think people with 7-figures net-worth are the biggest problem.
