Mosler for Senate 2010
My name is Warren Mosler, and I want to fix our economy.
When people first meet me, they want to know where I stand. I am a populist Tea Party Democrat, in the Jacksonian tradition, representing the core Democratic values I grew up with in the 1950’s.
Today’s Democratic populist economic message calls for lowering taxes so working-class people can afford to buy the goods and services they produce, limiting government to the provision of public infrastructure, utilizing competitive market forces to achieve economic objectives, and, of utmost importance, restoring constitutional government and personal responsibility.
We have hundreds of the world’s finest lawyers and highly successful businessmen in Congress, and look where they’ve gotten us. What we don’t have is someone like me, with my insider’s knowledge of monetary operations, who knows how to fix the economy.
I was born and raised with my younger brother and sister in Manchester, Conn., where my father worked in a small insurance office and my mother as a night-shift nurse. I graduated from the University of Connecticut in 1971 with a degree in economics, first working in investments at the Savings Bank of Manchester, then Bache in Hartford, before leaving my home state for a Wall Street trading desk in 1976. I started my own investment firm—Illinois Income Investors (III)—in Chicago in 1982, which I moved to South Florida, where I lived for more than twenty years. In 2003, at the invitation of the U.S. Department of the Interior, I relocated my business office to St. Croix, USVI, as part of a U.S. Government economic development program.
In 1985, I founded Mosler Automotive in Riviera Beach, Florida, which today builds the Mosler MT900 sports car—one of the world’s top performance vehicles and yet gets more than 30 mpg.
For the last twenty years, I have also been deeply involved in the academic community, publishing numerous articles in economic journals, newspapers and periodicals, and giving presentations at conferences around the globe.
I have two grown children—Sada and Jacob—who live in NYC, and I currently reside in Guilford with Elizabeth O’Tool, who has been with me for the last eight years.
Now that you know who I am, please click here to discover the vision I have for Connecticut and America.
