Sen. Elizabeth Warren made an amateur mistake on CNBC on Monday when she gave real answers to a reporter's questions.
As the Herald's Sean Philip Cotter reported, when Harwood pushed Warren on what rates she would like to see taxes raised to, Massachusetts' senior senator ducked the questions.
"Well, it's not about the number," Warren said in response to a question about the corporate tax rate.
When Harwood asked if a 50 percent tax rate on the country's top earners would be "Obviously too high," Warren reiterated: "It's not about a number. That's what negotiations are all about. That's why you sit down and you negotiate over the numbers."
At one point, Sen. Warren pointed out that the top marginal tax rate has been as high as 90 percent.
The scenario plays out like this: Liz Warren hikes everyone's taxes, which hinders investment.
Elizabeth Warren should realize that hard-working Americans enjoy keeping their own money.
