In remarks this morning to the Clinton Global Initiative, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton proposed a radical idea: a global tax on elites around the world.
"One of the issues that I have been preaching about around the world is collecting taxes in an equitable manner, especially from the elites in every country," Clinton said to laughter from the audience. "You know Im out of American politics, but (applause) it is a fact that around the world, the elites of every country are making money."
Clinton continued her rift on the rich. "There are rich people everywhere. And yet they do not contribute to the growth of their own countries."
The secretary of state suggested that the rich around the world do not give back to their communities. "They dont invest in public schools, in public hospitals, in other kinds of development internally," said Clinton.
She continued, saying that it is up to foreign leaders to make the change. "And so it means for leaders telling powerful people things they dont want to hear," Clinton said.
"It means being transparent about budgets and revenues and bringing corruption to light. And when that happens, we shouldnt punish countries for uncovering corruption. We should reward them for doing so. And it means putting in place regulations designed to attract and protect investment."

Or at least tarred and feathered her, and run her out of the colonies on a rail.

The Elite of the elite, i.e. Hilary and her circle, will be exempt.

Once they get a global tax of any kind they will have the global dictatorship they have been waiting for, and they will make Hitler look a choir boy.

I saw this, Our embassy attacked, her US ambassador killed in it and Hill thinks it her job to tell the world what their tax policy should be. Unbelievable.
Here's one for R+R to talk about, come on it's a softball.

The Elite of the elite, i.e. Hilary and her circle, will be exempt. And the hands-out sheeple will see that as perfectly fair! I get so ticked off at this "redistribution" crap -- how 'bout you redistribute your own stash first, and leave my pitiful little nest egg alone!

I don’t know what sin we committed but I know this; the Obamas will be the next Clintons. We need to ensure that never happens. Hopefully, we can do that by following through with investigations and the prosecution of Obama’s crimes.

She has looked relatively tame since Obama came onto the scene (in comparison) but only because she doesn’t broadcast her marxism like he does.
Barbara Olsen wrote about Hillary’s personal friendship with Saul Alinsky.
She is probably more of an Alinsyite than Obama

Axelrod told her to change the talking points and direct the conversation away from the Middle East so she pulled this BS out of her arse!
