She is the total dream candidate, but I hope she has the fire that Allen West has. She will be savaged by the left and their hate machine and the only way to counter such is to take them head on with some attitude. Not to say she needs to be as mean as the left, but she MUST be able to take them on and call them out. Nice won't work. I wish it could, but this environment does not allow it.

Another rich white liberal reporting on the poor oppressed blacks who can never make it without someone coming to their rescue and some rich white liberal waxing on about such "heroics"

This is just Schumer rehashing what Elizabeth Warren said: "No one ever made it on their own: NOBODY."

She specifically stated this: “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 the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police-forces and fire-forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn’t have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory — and hire someone to protect against this — because of the work the rest of us did.”

And her argument is completely baseless. It doesn’t even approach the difficulty of “which came first, the chicken or the egg”

That is because we know which came first: THE FACTORY.

THEN…and only then, the company that invested in, owns and operates the factory made a PROFIT and paid federal and state taxes. Their employees worked, earned an income and paid federal and state taxes.

AND THEN, and ONLY then….. the federal government and state government had the MONEY to pay to build the roads, build the schools to educate the workers and hire the police.

The state and federal government didn’t receive the funds to educate the citizenry, build the roads and hire policemen by PRODUCING anything and then selling such products at a profit and taking the risk inherent in such an endeavor.

The funds they received are TAKEN. They are in the business of confiscating their funds from the citizenry. Granted, it is written into the Constitution as their right (at least the federal government’s), but the whole idea she posits is completely upside down. They are completely free of and exempt from the risks that businesses take by being part of the Free Market System.

The government’s revenue is GUARANTEED. It is in-exhaustible as well and can never even become bankrupt or shut down, because they can print money or issues US bonds to keeps things going.

If there is any entity that NEVER made it on it’s own, it is the Federal Government.

This guy is a trust fund baby. He was interviewed by a NYT reporter. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and has not had a day experience with "oppression" or poverty. His major at Columbia is environmental science. He is a fraud and a tool.

Here is his Columbia.edu page: http://columbia.academia.edu/EdwardHall

This was before he went all out with his Carrot-Top hairstyle

Yeah, and the loud repeating chanting is far more less a disturbance that using a megaphone.

OK...I got it. Thanks for setting me straight.

I think the Koolaid sales will rise pretty soon in NYC......

Seriously, politics aside, why isn't the MSM reporting on how utterly creepy the repeating the words and hand signal thingy is?

This is the antithesis of freedom and individual Liberty. It is mindless cult group-think and smacks of Jones Town tactics and behavior.
