I decided to start another thread as the first one is already over 100 responses
I see there was another debate thread started at the same time. Should I delete this or leave it open?
Go to bdamomma's thread:

(34,300 posts)from having $50 million, which is the minimum for her wealth tax to apply.
In my opinion, she is definitely wealthy, but not in the uber-wealthy leagues.
Personally, I admire wealthy people who are Democrats and clearly are not in politics for their own self-interests.
FWIW, I have a friend who works in fund-raising, who has made a somewhat similar statement. He said the very wealthy have very different lives from ours, in particular they have investment opportunities and vehicles that are not available to "little guys." These vehicles offer chances to make much more money at lower risk than everyday investments. I think this is closer to what Warren meant.

And let's be clear. What Donald Trump has done, because of that phone call with Erdogan, is basically giving 10,000 ISIS fighters a "get out of jail free" card. And you know who the winner is in this? There are four: Russia, Iran, Assad, and ISIS.
