So You’re not so Crazy About Elizabeth Warren?

So, you say that you are not crazy about Elizabeth Warren. I hear that often. Some say it less politely.

Most cite the Pocahontas situations. It is what it is. She was told by her parents that she had Native American ancestors. Maybe she was misled. Maybe she had a great-uncle who wed an Apache -no DNA going her way from that union. But oral family histories are known to have exaggerations. I’ll give EW a pass on that. You have to make your own decision.

Some say that there is something about her that they just don’t like. My guess is that she is a smart, strong woman who doesn’t kowtow to white men in suits. Women like that make a lot of men and women uneasy. Many of us were raised to believe that respectable women showed respect to successful men (in return successful men would marry them and make them rich). Those days are over but many still default to this learned preference.

EW is fluent in law, economics, business, and plain old arithmetic. She possesses a rare understanding of the interconnectedness of the economy and our society.

Since the late 70’s, politicians, lawyers and business moguls have frigged around with so much of the economy that now business arithmetic more resembles numerology. Once dollars reach a certain altitude they almost never come down. Economic gravity has gradually been removed.

EW has been studying the effects of this for 30 years. Market shares rise while the middle-class is minimized. The fix is not simple or one dimensional, but EW has a viable and realistic plan to get United States’ unparalleled wealth re-circulating to rebuild a sustainable, sound America. Check out her website.

No, she may not be the most charismatic in the race, but she is the smartest, hardest working and most capable.
