Most middle class Americans have 401Ks. Taxing corporations will lower the return on investment and increase costs to consumers. There are not enough rich people to pay all the taxes.

She will tax us all into oblivion to help pay for the welfare, health care, free tuition and all the other stuff that she promised to give away in her nomination speech last night. Where is all this money coming from ??
working class stiffs like yourself massively benefit from a national health care system, public roads and tuition free public universities. The alternative to these services being funded by progressive taxation is huge user fees which does not in any way take into account ability to pay, so working stiffs pay the same amount as the multimilionaire. Whats so great about that?

The donor class already rip off the working class by the thousands every year as a result of anti-worker trade deals, patent laws, weakening of anti-trust laws, all so that profits can remain high by allowing them to charge extra. Whats so great about that? There is no reason to grovel the donor class, Cape Cod. They dont care about you and laugh at you.

Full List of Hillary
Indeed-

Eight years of liberal policy has resulted in :

1. 7% decline in incomes

2. record poverty rates

3. record low in work force participation since 1972

4. highest wealth gap since 1900

5. record number of citizens on foodstamps

6. rising crime rates

7. debt at $20 trillion

8. record lows in home ownership



............................ and now the liberals, after delivering 8 years of misery to America, wants to finish off the nation with 8 more years.

If the goal of government is to provide an environment which fosters individuals becoming prosperous, safe, and free, libs have failed dismally. If we want the nation to be impoverished serfs, the dems have done a great job.

Thank you for allowing me a little editorial leeway...the article did not speak at all about Hillary Clinton enriching herself as a direct result of her taxation program....no..she has done that all herself through the Clinton foundation ...public speaking... Pay for play schemes thinly veiled as a part of her position.

As in most things involving Hillary Clinton if I..as a lowly government employee did any of the things she did I would be fired prosecuted and jailed

Violate public records act... Fired..potentially prosecuted
Accepting gifts... Censured demoted potentially fired...potentially prosecuted
Using my office or status in my job capacity to enrichen myself.. fired..filed on


I think I have a very clear understanding what the article means and beyond. Hillary Clinton intends to create Obamaism on steroids..to do that she needs money..if she is taxed heavily it is of no consequence because she has a nearly inexhaustible future income stream...

I was responding to what you wrote: "Middle class.. here we go.. redistribute that wealth... all the while she enriches herself..." Your response above does not make sense in regards to tax hikes. Your last sentence tells me that you may understand a little. Bottom line, this is not a tax hike on the middle class.

Lightbulb No such thing as free!

Liberals and Progressives listen up.


There is no such thing as free and your candidate will cause lost of income.

Ok..lets go back a step and make it really simple
Her tax hikes WILL affect the middle class substantially

She will enrich herself no matter what her tax plan is

The two are mutually exclusive observations... I was demonstrating her disconnect..I realize the internet makes for lost nuance

Apparently most other posters understand my meaning

Thank you
