Elizabeth Warren's quote proves she is an idiot. You get what you pay for and what you work for. Everyone paid for the roads and the schools, including the entrepreneur who became successful. In fact, the straw man entrepreneur Warren is stupidly attacking has actually paid more for the roads and schools than a substantial portion of the population who do not pay many taxes at all. So, the entrepreneur has already paid his fair share, and then some, for his use of the roads and the schools. And as for education, this is a direct benefit to the employee, rather than to the entrepreneur, because the entrepreneur has to pay wages to the employee commensurate with his talents and abilities that were enhanced by his education.

A really good quote from Elizabeth Warren as a reminder of the way things really are.......

"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."
