Whole notion of no one gets a bigger share of democracy from elizabeth warren? hillary clinton outspent, i think by more than double. correct me if im wrong on that. donald trump. i dont think it it wasnt to buy a bigger share of democracy. she wanted to win. and it didnt help her. >> its a good talking point for elizabeth warren and bernie sanders, as they are trying to fire up their base to say, number one, billionaires shouldnt exist, essentially. and that the wealth tax in part takes care of...
