i) U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (from Massachusetts) argues that big banks have been ripping off and stealing from the ignorant and poor American consumers for so many years. But it should be clear to all of us that she says these bad things about advanced capitalism and big corporations in order to scratch-up more campaign contributions from the same gullible consumers. For that reason, no one should take her arguments and politics seriously. _________________________
