Elizabeth Warren's Batty Plan to Nationalize Everything

Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts has one-upped socialists Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: She proposes to nationalize every major business in the United States of America.

Senator Warren is many things: a crass opportunist, intellectually bankrupt, personally vapid, a peddler of witless self-help books, etc.

So Senator Warren is running this red flag up the flagpole to see who salutes.

When Elizabeth Warren wants to seize those earnings for her own use, what is that? It is covetousness, which is what you get when you have greed compounded with envy.

Politicians such as Senator Warren lack the courage to go to the American electorate and say: "We wish to provide these benefits, and they will cost an extra $3 trillion a year, which we will pay for by doubling taxes." Why spend the money to subsidize, say, health insurance, when you can just pass rules that make businesses do the subsidizing for you? It's a way to spend money without putting the expenditures on a budget line.

Of course, Senator Warren and her colleagues get to decide how the milk gets distributed, too.

Senator Warren now nominates herself to that list, at least in her aspiration.
