On Thursday, she put it like this:

‘If your CEO salary is at the 700, 600, 500 times your median worker’s pay, there is nobody on Earth ... Jesus Christ himself isn’t worth 500 times his median worker’s pay.’ ...

Her response is typical when asked why don’t she just write out a check herself. She wants other people to pay more.

Liberals - always talking about Separation of Church and State, yet always talking about religion and morality.

Why is that?  :whistle:

...which puts her in perfect alignment with people ranging from Warren Buffett to Ben Stein.
