Hillary last night promised to do the “hard work” of increasing taxes. But what her so-called “fairness” plan is really about is income redistribution and class envy.

It would damage investors, large and small businesses, and successful earners climbing the ladder of prosperity.

Why penalize them with a tall-tax toll barrier that would be constructed in front of the $200,000 dollar husband and wife earnings that so many young couples aspire to? That’s her platform after all.

Why damage stocks? Why attack investors in the ownership class? Why damage economic growth or the roaring bull market?

Here’s one for the record books: Last week, Hillary said that corporations must pay their fair share. She went on to say it’s not fair that as corporate profits have skyrocketed, the percentage of taxes paid by corporations has fallen. Huh?

The corporate tax share has soared under President Bush, even though it fell slightly under President Clinton. What do you make of that Senator Hillary?

I’ll tell you what, it’s a message that will doom the Dems to defeat next year—soft McGovernism on national defense coupled with Mondaleism on tax hikes.

I do believe that’s called lose-lose.
