I think Senator Warren's trade ideas and her message about the american people getting short changed is such a good message this day in age. This is a decade of the American people taking back their government. It's very attractive to people on both sides of the political spectrum!

I had forgotten cogent and clear thinking was possible, plausible, and powerful in Washington. Thank you Senator, you’re I’ve been eaten up and chewed out by many Fortune 100 companies. This is needed!!

Germany 🇩🇪 is super successful with this sort of model. We should do it too. Give workers a stake in the company they work for and they’ll work harder and longer and more efficient. We gotta do this for America! 🇺🇸

[ransom]

CNBC's framing on this issue is really disgusting.

[hebertjerome]

good job girl you are doing just what we thought you would, power to the people

[rplpalacio]

we need to bust corporate monopolies up an get corporate money out of politics

If Senator Warren kept on this track—not too far left, and not too far right—I would vote for her in 2020. As long as she is interested in juicing up my bank account through building a robust economy, well I’m in! And I’m 26 years old and have $5 in my bank account right now. I hope to see you around in 2020 Mrs. Warren.

Add to her proposal that CEO compensation be no higher than 25 times the median employee of that company.

[Stephanie-yjrp]

You, Mrs. Warren, are absolutely inspiring!

Kudos to CNBC for being a good interviewer with hardballs. Kudos to the senator for their response.

The ability to publicly agree with members of the other party on certain issues while strongly disagreeing with them on others is rare and necessary. Senator Warren appears to be nothing short of a principled politician, which is no less rare and necessary.

Good luck in your Senate race and keep up the good work!

Some have said that every ounce of Gold has 4 owners. How many owners does each dollar have ?

[jgcelliott]

Wages have not just flatlined, now in many cases it takes two earners to maintain a household.

[longho]

Great Ideas, Good Solutions right now. Balance, Responsibility, Patriots, Wealth together, Humanity ect.

Warren 's Accountable Capitalism Act includes a requirement that corporations with over a billion dollars a year in revenue have 40% of the corporate board of directors elected by the workers.

Virgin America recently was acquired by Alaska because it was successful. The CEO and board members cashed in and the entire headquarters lost their jobs along with many others.

The founder and almost all the employees were against the sale but they had no seats at the table when it came down to it.

[schwartzenheimer]

Been saying this for years. Long way to get there, though...

[franciscomillan]

notice how the video magically cuts when ms warren talks about stock buybacks.

I like how she says this is not anti-business. This is more government control oversight. That's exactly what has been stifling business. The shareholders I hate to tell you but they're the ones that are investing money into the company to help it grow. So why would you not pay the people who are using their hard earned money to invest in new a company and not reap the benefit from their investment. Wage growth is based on demand of employees. When you have a surplus of people to work in that field they can be hired at lower wages. The more people that are being put to work the higher their wages are becoming as the demand increases. It's also based on skill and education. If you don't invest in yourself and make yourself more valuable your wages will not go up. Telling business as what they have to do to run their own business is exactly what was going on in many socialist nations that have failed. Senator stay out of our businesses.
