Elizabeth Warren was sorely mistaken if she thought she could get away with attacking prominent billionaires without repercussions, she was sorely mistaken.
After flipping out on Warren Wednesday night for not knowing “who the f**k she’s tweeting,” billionaire investor Leon Cooperman told CNBC’s ‘Halftime Report’ on Thursday that Warren’s proposed wealth tax “makes no sense,” adding “It would lead to unnatural acts, be near impossible to police, and is probably unconstitutional… it will make the wealthy flock to gold in order to hide their wealth, like you wouldn’t believe.”
“In my opinion, she represents the worst in politicians as she’s trying to demonize wealthy people because there are more poor people (than) wealthy people,” said Cooperman, adding “if this lady wins, we’re in big trouble.”
Of course, Warren is playing to her (young) base, and when asked why do so many Millennials seem to prefer socialism to capitalism? Cooperman exclaimed that “they’re exposed to all this crap by left-leaning university professors.”
Then Cooperman dared to ask: “How can a college professor and politician gain an $18mm net worth?” he also asked.
