Exploring Warren

From Iron Knee at Political Irony:

I was pleasantly surprised by Elizabeth Warren’s policy announcement.

Yes, I know that this was done in the context of announcing her formation of an presidential exploratory committee, but let’s ignore for a moment whether or not she would make a good president (I’ve seen more than enough of that, given that it mostly consists of name calling).

Ironically, Warren is essentially a defender of capitalism to me. Like Warren, I am a “capitalist to my bones” (I’ve started a number of companies and served as a CEO). But unlike the far right and some large corporations, I understand the important role that government plays in supporting free capitalism. For example, Warren and I agree that monopolies are an anathema to vibrant capitalism. Free competition is destroyed by companies that are “too big to fail” (and, as Warren put it, “too big to jail”).
