Why do some believe Elizabeth Warren is progressive?

Most people don't know this, but Elizabeth Warren was a conservatives conservative at one time and a Republican. Unfortunately for her, she lives in a state full of Kennedy era democrats, and she "converted" in order to be able to run for the Senate and win.

Her record was actually pretty good, and moderate, until Trump appeared, and then everything changed. When Trump began to mock her as Pocahontas, Warren began working actively on plans to attach the wealth of billionaires. It's a form of revenge that will go into effect if a Democrat is ever elected to the Presidency again.

@4meAndyou Interesting. Good revenge, though. No-one deserves or needs a billion dollars. No billionaire made their money just because they worked harder than everyone else. There are only 5 ways to make a billion, 'and none of them have anything to do with being successful in a comparatively free market.' But for comparative peanuts they can buy government influence. A generation ago hard-working people could do well. Now it's all scooping up to the few at the top. Forget socialism, this is a new powerful elite that people fled Europe from. My view. :)

@Abstraction I heard a recent analysis that said everything changed in 1978. They didn't say why. But they did say that after 1978 the rich were able to become filthy rich, while the poor remained very poor.
