Elizabeth Warren wants to rob shareholders, reward plebs.

They are Economically right. Like CNBC is. Just because they are PC doesn't mean they aren't for tax cuts and deregulation.

PC + tax cuts + deregulation is NOT far right.

tax cuts and deregulation are libertarian ideals which are centrist...and PC is far left.

I can tell you Vox liked to bash bernie for being a socialist. I guess that is my main rational for calling them right, as that is most of my exposure to them.

Yikes. Wrong again. Vox isn't a unified voice, but they were mostly pro-Bernie. And they definitely aren't pro-tax cuts and deregulation. LOL!

No they are not centrist. At one time both parties in this country were economic progressives. Eisenhower was a economic progressive. Nixon created the EPA, and was not calling for tax cuts when tax rates were far higher then they are now. You are on some revisionist history shit.

You can't say that about deregulation and tax cuts.

Economics is the only thing that matters. I would say foreign policy as well, but that is really an extension of economics.

I am shocked by the tone of Vox and CNBC on this. Apparently this is getting some support from the corporate establishment.

A little light on the specifics, but it was 40% of board seats elected by workers for publicly traded corporations in the US, and basically a charter for corporate social responsibility to accompany their corporate personhood.

Why are you surprised by Vox reporting? Lefties are writing most of the opinion pieces. The one I read was written by Matt Yglyesias (not sure on spelling) and he's solidly liberal.

Yeah, he's a been giant in the lefty blogging world for about as long as there has been one. Pretty far left.

I think he's great too. He's sort of cut from the same cloth as us on a lot of issues and I think he's particularly sharp with economics/tax related policy.

Yeah, like I said, limited exposure to Vox, I had some anecdotal experience to lead me to think so.

Ok, fair enough. I think if you read them more you'd see that they're overall solidly liberal.
 
I mean wages aren't rising, and really haven't in like 3 or 4 decades tbh...

That's......a problem, that is just going relatively unnoticed by the masses due to technological advances and QOL improvements

Even moreso when you consider our excellent GDP per capita, which essentially means one thing. The elites are taking the revenues.....

They, however, almost exclusively fund campaigns, so i'm not seeing how this is realistically going to change w/ government intervention which it does not appear anyone but the ultra Far Left is attempting to do
 
And the weird corporate worshipping gimmick goes on

I didn't see that one, thanks for sharing. He's good and you can see that his piece remains relevant 4 years later and I love the restaurant example/analogy.

And he's 100% right about the difficult problem of solving our economic problems.

Yeah, I liked how he rolled that all together. That was right before he joined Vox. One of the weird things about leftists who don't identify with the mainstream left is the misconception that they (the MSL) supports tax cuts and deregulation and isn't open to pro-labor moves like Warren's. It doesn't come from the actions of elected officials, party platforms, and certainly not from comments from pundits who somehow get identified with the MSL (Yglesias has always been super independent--Sullivan even used to have an independence in blogging award named after him, but I see him get roped into that classification, too).
