Scott Brown must realize that Elizabeth Warren is far more qualified to be a US Senator than he is. That must be why he keeps trying to distract us with non-issues.

Still, if Elizabeth Warren has to keep assuring us that she knows what is important in this campaign, she can do a good job of it, as shown in the video below.

Elizabeth Warren sets the record straight about her family’s Native American heritage.

Elizabeth Warren may have had her struggles growing up, but she seems to have overcome them nicely. Scott Brown, according to his own biography, suffered with an abusive family. Perhaps that is why he is so suspicious of any authority figures. He is so unable to imagine a nurturing family, that he doesn’t see the good a family, or a community, or a government can do. Or maybe his issue is that he never grew up in a family where he felt he could trust what adults told him. Maybe that is why he cannot believe that when Elizabeth Warren’s parents told her about the family history, she didn’t ask for proof.

I know two cases don’t make a scientific study, but I have seen another case of an adult male having suffered an abusive father. This other adult male also seems to have the same attitudes as Scott Brown about people banding together in their government to accomplish something for the good of society. They just seem so suspicious that anybody would want to do something good for anybody else.

I feel sorry for Scott Brown having to suffer his affliction, but that doesn’t mean we have to allow him to foist his problems on us by his insisting on government policies that punish us. That won’t help him, and it surely won’t help us.

There are already too many video clips for me to replicate them all here. Perhaps the following one best exemplifies what we would lose as a country if we just write off the people who are not paying income tax.

As Elizabeth Warren likes to point out, this country became the great country it is by investing in its people, especially its children. If we stop that investment, then we will lose out on the people who would go on to make great contributions to the country after we made the investment.

As capitalists, Republicans should understand the theory of investment. Are they just pretending that they don’t know what an investment is anymore? Or have they gotten so used to getting ahead by cheating others that they don’t think they need to invest anymore? There might be some other possibilities as to why so many of them are blind to what keeps a great country great.
