Hillary Clinton is at it again. Clinton, who is likely the president-in-waiting, is looking to convince ignorant voters that she’s one of them and understands their hatred for the wealthy, even though she’s a rich person, too.
On Monday, the 2016 Democratic presidential candidate will outline a four percent “surcharge” income tax on Americans earning a minimum of $5 million per year.
Called a “Fair Share Surcharge,” an aide for the Democratic frontrunner told Reuters that the plan would raise approximately $150 billion over the course of a decade. The aide noted that Clinton is expected to make the announcement sometime this week.
The former New York Senator and Secretary of State has expressed policies that would create a minimum tax rate of 30 percent on anyone earning more than $1 million per year. With this “Fair Share Surcharge,” it would be the first part of her push to incorporate higher tax policies into her campaign.
National polls suggest that Clinton maintains a healthy 13-point lead over fellow presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. However, Clinton is proving to have trouble in the states of Iowa and New Hampshire, as she is up by only five points in the former and down by four points in the latter.

In case some were not aware, it’s been relatively common knowledge for awhile now that not all measurably, “rich” folks think and behave alike. Oftentimes even hostile enemies of one another on core business-minded economic matters.
It’s whar the rich do with their piles of capital that counts. And many are trapped by a larger system of beaurocratic red tape and insistent exceptionalist-based elites and attendant crony, play keep away, ideologies.
Illary is now a laughing stock that only by Presidential genetic law may have a shot at playing the real President again. As any will recall that it was known that the real power in the Clinton White House era came from Hillary anyway. For gosh sakes, shes even been Secretary of State too. And she still wants the whole Tamale? Lol.
