How about my argument about her profiting from college students going into debt, while she says it's unethical for banks to do the same. Let's focus on that.

She bought a house from an elderly Oklahoma woman for $30,000 in August of 1993, then sold it for $145,000 3 months later. She either took advantage of the woman, or flipped a property which was it?

Yeah, but if you convert those dollars to wampum, which is the currency that Warren surely deals in, she probably only broke even.

It was 5 months actually.

She helped her family buy a decrepit property (not a foreclosure by the way) and remodel it for resale. Even in 1993 you couldn't do that level of extensive renovations on an entire house with a small profit and expect anything less. Who knows if she even made any money.

Maybe you should read the story, cause that's not what the family is saying about this particular house, one of many she was involved in either purchasing herself or lending the money to her brother or sister in-law on multiple occasions

For a Republican to do such a thing it would be heralded as great business sense!!! if it was commented negatively from liberals we would be accused of Hating successful people

But when the shoes is on someone else's foot they find a conscious.. and are outraged

And what did she propose to do that was incorrect?

She criticizes people for doing that which she has done. It's OK for her to get rich off the backs of college students, but she attacks banks for doing the same thing. You see nothing a wee bit hypocritical there?
