Most people would be happy to be among the 1%, but Elizabeth Warren, Democratic candidate for the Senate from Massachussetts and self-declared
godmother of the Occupy movement, seems utterly embarrassed by it. So much so that she's
willing to lie about it:
“I realize there are some wealthy individuals – I’m not one of them, but some wealthy individuals who have a lot of stock portfolios" she told him.
Hard to see how Warren wouldn't be, by most standards, wealthy, according to the Personal Financial Disclosure form she filed to run for Senate shows that she's worth as much as $14.5 million. She earned more than $429,000 from Harvard last year alone for a total of about $700,000, and lives in a house worth $5 million.
I am offering a trade that would make us both much better off. In exchange for her many millions, I will grant her full and complete ownership of my membership in the 99%.
