there's elizabeth warren's known money on the left there, in the blue bar. and then -- actually, you know, the bar looks like it goes off the top of the screen. i think we have to pull back a little more here. can we pull back? yeah. i guess we have to pull back a little bit more. a little bit -- okay. still just runs off the top of the screen. pull one more out. can we -- yeah, there we go. all right. see, the problem with getting the graph to scale here is that you can't even really see the elizabeth warren money on here when you pull back to see all of scott brown's money. maybe if we do it as a pie chart instead. yeah, there we go. see, this is elizabeth warren's known money as compared to scott brown's money. see, it's that tiny, tiny little blue sliver. why does scott brown have this much money? why does he have rocky mountain lie, light cigars with your furniture, cash bundles lying around? he has it because of wall street. scott brown ranks number one right now in contributions, campaign kricks from hedge funds as well as the venture capital industry

, in the republican mind, that elizabeth warren clip is the same thing as this.ure, some people see a vase but it's just as likely that you will see this picture as two faces. sure, some people see the young lady, but people like mike can't see the young lady at all, they can only see the old lady. after that clich elizabeth warren explaining the we're all in this together, after that clip got people standing up and applausing their e-mail and cheering at their tv and making files like this, republicans also started circulating that clip. but republicans' idea is that people would see this clip, hear this message as articulated by elizabeth warren and horrified by it. elizabeth warren puts those villainous job creators in their place, says "the daily caller ". run of the mill demagoguery from elizabeth warren, says "the boston herald". >> those people who start those companies and those factors are creating jobs. i mean, aren't they giving back to the community by creating jobs first? >> there's nothing in what she says that makes that case. >> fox news has been

senate candidate elizabeth warren is off to a strong start in her campaign to unseat republican scott brown in massachusetts. a new poll finds voters now put warren ahead of brown 46% to 44% in a survey done this weekend, just days after she entered the race. it represents a dramatic shift from three months ago when warren ran 15 points behind brown in the same poll. joining me now, msnbc political analyst howard fineman, senior political editor of "the huffington post." thanks for joining me tonight, howard. >> hey, lawrence. >> howard, this is big news out of my home state of massachusetts. an incumbent is not supposed to poll like that. it's within a statistical tie. and because we're matching the same survey of three months ago, you're seeing movement in that same polling methodology, very, very much in elizabeth warren's favor. this is a very fast start for her. >> i don't think there's any doubt about it. in talking to republicans today, they didn't really dispute the poll. they said, you know, she's had a lot of attention, a lot of publicity. and i think democrats are very, ver

let me show you a sound from elizabeth warren. >> there is nobody in this country who got rich on hiswn. nobody. you build a factory out there, good for you, but i want to be clear. you moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. you hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. you were safe in your factory because the police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. >> amen. amen. she's preaching the truth. this whole notion, like they are so smart and did all of this on their own, and that they were not in many ways aided by the things that this society provided for them, the working class people's tax dollars paid for. it is the most arrogant and false premise to this whole argument. >> well, they're actually not arguing against public spending. if you look at what mitch mcconnell does in kentucky, they don't say wow, it's the way he opposed president obama, but all the dollars he brought here, all the federal tax dollars, this convention center, that road. he has been a master at getting the federal dallas back in his home state. the same is true o

and he was really addressing the statement that had been made by elizabeth warren that no one got richct as though everyone in the middle class, everyone in the lower class ought to lift themselves by their bootstraps when we've been left with no boots. >> that's right. the fact is, reverend al, that no country in the work allows wealth creation like the united states. in fact, the only -- have dictatorships, and you have to pick the right side. this is a wonderful country, and what the person people want us to see washington working together in a bipartisan way. i don't use the words shared sacrifice. i use the words shared responsibility. we all have a responsibility to contribute, to keep this country up, in its infrastructure, in its laws, structures overall. that includes paying our fair share, and i think that's where the president so rightfully has done now clearly laid the demarcation down. they are for cuts to welfare, social security, and to medicare, and not for a shared sacrifice, or in this case not for a shared responsibility action, asking the wealthiest condition to pay

and i think, thanks partly to elizabeth warren, we're having a different conversation now, where this isn't about punishing the rich, whether it's that guy or warren buffett, or somebody else. this is about the fact that if you're lucky enough to be born here, we didn't pick the country we were born in. you have a chance to make your hard work turn into something. and people who do better have a responsibility to the upkeep of the commons, which allowed them to become rich. so this is not about hating rich people. >> the upkeep of the country. there's a nice, sort of household term e.j.'s come up with. the upkeep. keeping our bridges safe, keeping our roads worthy, keeping our electrical systems working, keeping our sewers working. that's called upkeep. shouldn't the people with the most money, you know, asked to be done the most? it seems to me that's common sense. it's not about punishment, it's about, go where the money is. >> well, can i jump in here? >> sure, you're in. >> well, part of the argument is that government actually does some useful things and the business community ha
