Elizabeth Warren's quote, "There is nobody in the country who got rich on his own.
Nobody. You built a factory out there - good for you.

roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of
us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of
police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for.
