Warren is the best pick for education

I have been waiting for a presidential candidate like Elizabeth Warren all my adult life. She has looked at American society and the results of our economic system and found the flaws. Others have done that and like Warren have connected with voters with solutions that are popular and attract large crowds of voters.
What Warren has done better though, is to thoroughly research to find how things can be fixed. I was not aware that taking just 2 percent from the wealth of fortunes beyond fifty million dollars could fix education in our country.
As a former high school language teacher and a professor at Cornell College and the University of Iowa, I know the power of education to help kids get ahead and succeed. Some will succeed so well that someday they will have enough wealth to pay this wealth tax. Warren has a plan to make this nation fair again. Go caucus for her. It is a great investment.
