Democrat fraud, liar and deceiver.

Elizabeth Warren obtained federal fee waivers despite high 6-figure income and 8-figure net worth

Did not pay her “fair share,” obtained PACER fee waivers in at least 50 federal districts 2005-2012


Elizabeth Warren has built her progressive rock star image and her campaign by attacking the wealthy factory owners and others who supposedly do not pay their “fair share” and take advantage of loopholes to live off of infrastructure paid for by others.
Yet Warren appears to be one of those people who takes advantage.
Warren falsely and without any legitimate legal basis claimed to be Cherokee for employment purposes.  Warren also chintzed by failing to register for the Massachusetts Bar despite an active practice of law in Cambridge since the mid-1990s, thereby evading Bar registration dues.  Howie Carr has a great column today about Warren’s class warfare phoniness.
Add another example to the long list:  Warren obtained fee waivers from at least 50 federal bankruptcy courts so she would not have to pay for access to the federal PACER system, even in years when she had a high 6-figure income and an 8-figure net worth.

Warren’s High Income and Net Worth

In 2008, the earliest year for which Warren has released income tax returns, Warren and her husband had a combined income of $831,208, which increased in 2009 to $981,670.  Warren’s net worth as of the end of 2011 was as high as $14.5 million.
In 2010-2011, Warren earned approximately $140,000 from Aspen Publishers for her books about bankruptcy.  Warren also has published a variety of commercial books over the years, for which no income data is available, such as the 2004 publication of The Two Income Trap (see Megan McArdle and Todd Zawycki reviews), which incorporated her bankruptcy research and many of her non-commercial articles.
Warren also worked as a private consultant for which she earned $90,000 on bank antitrust litigation, although it’s not known if she incorporated her banktruptcy docket work because shewill not release her report.
These commercial endeavors are separate from her non-commercial, highly politicized research, such as the review of bankruptcy case dockets which led to a devastating critique of Warren’s work by Rutgers Law Professor Philip Schuchman.  These bankruptcy file reviews also contributed to Warren’s non-commercial studies such as the misleading claim that medical expenses account for one-third  of all bankruptcies.
Warren’s bankruptcy docket research has contributed at least indirectly to the vast money-making empire which euphemistically could be called “Elizabeth Warren, Inc.” (not an actual name, but fitting).

PACER  Waivers In At Least 50 Districts

I say good for Warren, she built that $14.5 million net worth through hard work and persistence.
But Warren, who berates factory owners, obtained fee waivers for access to the bankruptcy docket maintained by the federal PACER system, for which others have to pay.
Warren took advantage of a policy at PACER which provides for fee waivers for academic research based on her standing as a law professor.
Copies of letters submitted by Warren in 2006 and 2008 in the Middle District of Pennsylvania, along with corresponding Orders (plus a third Order in Maryland for which no letter was found) were located through the PACER system.
In her November 22, 2006, letter to the Court, Warren attached a list of 49 federal district courts which previously had granted her waivers from the normal PACER fees:




Lies come home to roost

Granny Warren, the fake Indian, is now portraying herself as the tribune of the middle class, the people Middle Class Joe Biden said have been buried for the last four years, and you can believe him, because he always tells the truth.
Here’s a bulletin: Granny Warren is not middle class. She is a snob’s snob, a 1-percenter from way back. There is only one Scrooge McDuck-like plutocrat in this fight, and it’s not Scott Brown.
Check out the candidates’ two houses.

Brown lives in Wrentham, and bought his house for $307,000 in 1995. It’s now assessed at $511,000.
Granny lives in the People’s Republic of Cambridge, and bought her Victorian for $447,000 in 1995, the year she drifted into Massachusetts. It’s now assessed at $1,749,000. The mansion itself is so incredibly posh that last year, when a magazine writer wanted to interview Warren there, the campaign insisted that the house itself was “off the record.”
During the past four years, the Warrens have averaged $845,000 a year in income. The Browns have averaged $428,000 over the last six.
This woman has a lot of gall, calling out people who are worth a lot less than her as “millionaires and billionaires.” But then, she still won’t release her employment applications to Harvard and Penn so we can confirm her claims that she never benefited from falsely claiming minority status.
Education: Scott and Gail Brown have a total of three college degrees, zero from the Ivy League. Granny Warren and husband Bruce Mann, another Harvard professor who can’t park a bicycle straight, have a combined seven degrees, including two from Brown and three from Yale. (Those Ivy creds come from Bruce Mann, whom Granny brags is a 13th-generation Massachusetts native; even John Forbes Kerry knows better than to brag about such Brahmin antecedents.)
Elizabeth Warren exhorted her supporters to “talk to the person in line behind you at the cheese store.” The only cheese store Scott Brown knows is the deli counter at Market Basket.
One candidate has simultan-eously bragged about providing the “intellectual foundations” of the Occupy movement and to have been told by a Wall Street billionaire that only she could “save capitalism.”
Scott Brown brags about how many miles he had on his old truck.
One candidate has $14.7 million worth of investments, but when asked on MSNBC which equities she owned, insisted that she didn’t have any stocks, only “mutual funds.”
One candidate couldn’t name the two years the Red Sox [team stats] won the World Series in this century, and predicted that the team would win 90 games this year. (They won 69.)
One candidate has a daughter who’s trying to make it as a singer. The other candidate has a daughter who runs a George Soros-backed organization that sued the state to send out prepaid voter registration forms to every welfare recipient in Massachusetts, including illegal aliens.
One candidate has supporters who in Dorchester made Indian war whoops and tomahawk chops like Jane Fonda used to do at Braves’ games, after which he was denounced for allowing “hate speech.” Another candidate’s supporters made anti-gay slurs at a supporter of the other candidate. The Globe pooh-poohed that incident as “inappropriate.”
One candidate has season tickets to the ballet, is a “longtime” member of the Museum of Fine Arts, and once described growing African violets as one of her “favorite pastimes.”

Ask yourself this: Does Mass-achusetts really need a senator who’s even phonier than John Kerry?
