on Saturday, June 22, 2019Elizabeth Warren Money Quote saying we all pay taxes to finance our infrastructure and the elements that make America great. Elizabeth Warren said:
“There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory out there – good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers that the rest of us paid to educate… Part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along” — Elizabeth Warren
