Hillary told us that "it takes a village", but for quite a few years now we have been hearing that all it takes is the wealthy, or as they call themselves, the job creators.
But, in fact, they haven't been creating a whole lot of jobs, and when they have, they haven't done it alone. And Elizabeth Warren was the first in a long time to say it: "Nobody got rich on his own."
And while the likes of Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, Scott Brown and Tim Scott continue to vote for those with the deep pockets that are paying for those votes, women like Elizabeth Warren and Bobbie Rose are begging to differ.
Fact is, the reason trickle down will never work, the reason tax cuts for the wealthy will not work, is that capitalism doesn't work if people can't afford to buy your product. Unfortunately, that one percent doesn't care. They don't care because their money is safe in offshore accounts, stacked in huge piles where they can come count it whenever they want, like Scrooge McDuck

Yes, Warren is right when she says the game is rigged. And along with dynamic women like Bobbie Rose, she will fight for a living wage for all of us, and will partner government with those businesses which will move us forward, through good and ethical hiring practices as well as industry that will promote 21st century needs for a clean environment and fuel efficiency. She will fight for the quality of our education, as well as the safety of our schools and roads.
When Elizabeth Warren and Bobbie Rose vote on financial matters, they will not be voting so that the rich get richer. They will not be voting with a mind to pinching pennies on the middle class so that their wealthy constituents can stack up more profit. They will be voting with the understanding that, for America to succeed, we must all succeed.
In many ways, America is still stuck in the 20th Century. We need women with vision like Elizabeth Warren and Bobbie Rose in the US Congress to move this country -- and the people who live in it -- forward.
