until she finds out who was in charge for the last few decades, and let this happen.

But that style of delivery she used needs to evolve quickly if she wants to win. Part of her appeal is that she's an insider who knows how the system works. She needs to speak strongly and directly about how she wants to shift government away from favoring the 1% to the detriment of everyone else. Otherwise her poll numbers for the Democratic primaries will continue to slide. If she wins the nomination she'll face apathy, if not outright hostility, from the younger voters and any other demographic that's suffered while the elites prospered.

If you look at what she says carefully you see that she doesn't suggest that she'll see to it that the profits and pay of the wealthiest will take a haircut. Rather, she suggests that it's just a matter of us needing some of what they are getting.

That closely resembles how the Republicans appeal to those at the bottom of the economic pyramid. "Don't hate the system, instead vote for us and maybe it will be you who's looking down at those at the bottom".

Right, because we can somehow have a system where we're all in the 1%, where we are all job creators.

When will we tax the wealthy evaders and fund the programs that aid those of us who are in desperate circumstances?

Just looks like the host posted that as bait to block anyone that posts anything but happy sunny praise.
