Senator Clinton is pitching herself as the "progressive" candidate for president, proposing to raise taxes on upper-income Americans and eliminate breaks for corporations under an economic plan that is drawing an immediate rebuke from Republicans.
In a policy address yesterday in New Hampshire, Mrs. Clinton laid out an economic vision that envisages an expanded role for government as part of an effort to foster a society of "shared prosperity." She assailed the policies of the Bush administration, saying they have benefited the wealthy and large corporations, particularly oil companies, at the expense of the middle class. "For the past six years," she told an audience of hundreds at the Manchester School of Technology, "it's been like going back to the era of the robber barons."
Offering nostalgia for her husband's tenure in the White House, Mrs. Clinton said she wanted to "hit the restart button"

“From each according to their ability; to each according to their need.” Hmmm. Why does that sound familiar...?
Slick is always trying to share his "prosperity"!
as one of those robber barons she is talking about (I make over minimum wage) I’m glad the mask is off again. We need to hit her hard on the issues, not her other (obvious) flaws.
“Hit the restart button...” Bill says OK.
Too bad many don’t believe in shared work.
“Offering nostalgia for her husband’s tenure in the White House,...”

Nostalgia? Um...none from me. I lost money during 8 years of Clinton communism. If this broad gets into the White House, I won’t have a pension to live on.
Exactly. Comrade Clinton is becoming so blunt about her communist believes.
Under Communism there is no prosperity to share, only misery.
Running on a platform of raising taxes worked out SO well for Mondale, I can see why she would emulate it.
Her comments are all the same old crap as the prelude to communist takeover of Europe. Shared Prosperity = Shared misery = Socialism.
“Mrs. Clinton said she wanted to “hit the restart button” on the 21st century.”
Ha ha! I’ll bet her speechwriters stayed up all night thinking of that clever little phrase.
"Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word: equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude."
--Alexis de Tocqueville
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences."
-- C.S Lewis
Many of you are well enough off that the tax cuts may have helped you. We’re saying that for America to get back on track, we’re probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We’re going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good.
Hillary Clinton

If this beotch wins due to GOP ineptitude, we are seriously screwed.
Every time these liberal socialists talk about “sharing the wealth,” my share of the wealth gets smaller.
More like shared gangsterism. This would be like having Lady MacBeth for president.
Shared Prosperity is what we once referred to as Communism
::::
Spot on. She IS A HARD MARXIST. And has been for a very long time — get ready America, if you put this Marxist witch in the White House — Communism 101.
Hillary is “building a bridge” back to 1917 and the Russian Revolution right here in Amerika.
