Is this the same Elizabeth Warren that claimed minority status as a Native American while at Harvard? It turns out, at best, she is 1/32nd Cherokee...

This lady is a moron...Her argument is sooooo illogical. Somebody needs to call her on it and ask her what happens to the roads, schools, and police if there is NO INDUSTRY that doesn't need the roads, doesn't need the public school educated workers, and doesn't have to worry about their security?
She depends on the vast majority of public school educated people to not be able to identify an illogical fallacious premise to an argument.

No Tbird... that was just one more bogus claim by a very worried Republican Scott Brown who is running against Warren in Massachusetts. Check your facts.
Records show that Warren identified her race as "white" on an employment record at the University of Texas and declined to apply for admission to Rutgers Law School under a program for minority students. The records on Elizabeth Warren were obtained by The Associated Press on Thursday. Warren's heritage has been under scrutiny after it surfaced that she had listed herself as having Native American heritage in law school directories. Warren's campaign said the records reinforce her earlier statements that she never relied on a claim of minority status to get teaching jobs. She has criticized the campaign of Republican U.S. Sen. Scott Brown for suggesting that might be the case. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/10/elizabeth-warren-minority-status_n_1508060.html
Furthermore, On the Rutgers application, Warren wrote "No" in response to the question: "Are you interested in applying for admission under the Program for Minority Group Students?" Warren was not recruited by Harvard due to affirmative action or to bolster Harvard’s diversity. Harvard Law School professor Charles Fried has said that any suggestion that Warren enjoyed an affirmative action advantage in her hiring as a full professor is "false" and that Warren was recruited because of her expertise in bankruptcy and commercial law.
Now Tbird, back to the subject at hand... Don't you agree with Warren that: "No one gets rich in America on their own".

As far as whether someone gets rich on their own, its a ridiculous argument. Using her silly logic, there is very little that anyone can do completely on their own, except for basic bodily functions.....even then, I'm sure she'd try to attach some government process to it.
Her argument is classic class envy. "You got rich on our backs, so you owe us"

So, as it goes, she's as Native American as Barack Obama is American.

Read your own link. "Warren has described herself as having Cherokee and Delaware Indian ancestry". because that is what she has always heard from her family history. But She never used that 'claimed' heritage for any advantage, and listed herself as White... not any part native American.
I am glad to see that you also agree with Warren that "No One Gets Rich On Their Own!" It takes infrastructure that society as a whole pays for with OUR TAXES.

If you think Warren's argument is a "complex concept" I guess Catholic School is just as poor a public school.
NO Cic... Warrens argument is pretty basic... And I agree... Catholic School is just as good or as poor as public schools.

I did read the link. She was touted in the Harvard Faculty book as being Native American. In this society, PARTICULARLY ACADEMIA, touting yourself as having minority blood even though you are at least 50% white IS an advantage. See Barack Obama, Halley Berry, and it even works in reverse for George Zimmerman.
Someone as "bright" as Warren should know better and get completely vetted before she runs for a political office. She does do the personal responsibility push-off and blames her relatives for false information. How liberally chic.
No, I don't agree with Warren. Society may provide the infrastructure, but its the risk takers and entrepreneurs that make themselves successful and rich. Otherwise, any Tom, Dick, or Harry that gets a business loan, would be rich

What happens to infrastructure when industry leaves!!
Quoted Text
Half of Detroit’s Streetlights May Go Out as City Shrinks
Detroit, whose 139 square miles contain 60 percent fewer residents than in 1950, will try to nudge them into a smaller living space by eliminating almost half its streetlights.
As it is, 40 percent of the 88,000 streetlights are broken and the city, whose finances are to be overseen by an appointed board, can’t afford to fix them. Mayor Dave Bing’s plan would create an authority to borrow $160 million to upgrade and reduce the number of streetlights to 46,000. Maintenance would be contracted out, saving the city $10 million a year.

Warren didn't use affirmative action based on her supposed small minority bloodline to her advantage. There is a PBS show about heritage that shows many people have black, Hispanic, or Native American blood in their past, that have been told in their family history... some are correct, others like Warren, would need a DNA test to determine if the family stories are true or not.
On your Republican Selling Point... "Risk Takers and Entrepreneurs that make themselves successful and rich"... I'm afraid that the facts don't agree with your Republican Talking Point.
Take for example...GWB. He was "Rich" even though he failed as a baseball owner... He failed as an Oil Man... But he is Rich... He was BORN THAT WAY... which once more proves... No one gets rich in America on their own.
