1. She pretty much laid it out right there
She won't repeal the tax cuts for the rich. SHe's just like Bush. If she repealed those cuts she'd lose all her rich friends. Don't trust her. Don't trust her one little bit. She's a lying snake in the grass.

3. Is THAT what caused Dildo reilly to interrupt her and get all defensive? "But I am rich"?
Maybe you should watch the whole video - it'll be up at you tube later - as you seem to ignore ger platform - she'd raise taxes for high income people at a level lower than B0

4. Heck they all have the opportunity
Edited on Fri May-02-08 06:56 AM by 4themind
to make donations any time they wish, so the statement you mentioned is not necessarily an argument for taxation (depending upon what she meant by "moving the country foward"). While it is possible she could have meant what you mentioned it's still an open question to me,as often seems to be the case with her measured words. Opportunities are not necessarily the same as responsibilities, although that could have been what she MEANT and just phrased it rather ambiguously
