According to the Clinton campaign website:
Hillary is committed to restoring basic fairness in our tax code and ensuring that the wealthiest Americans and large corporations pay their fair share, while providing tax relief to working families…
This propaganda… er Clinton campaign statement, reminded me of a talk from years ago, 1992 to be exact. A very close friend, Subodh, a naturalized American citizen born in India, was speaking with family friends at a party. The men he was talking with were professionals, doctors, engineers, accountants, and the had one thing in common. They were strong Clinton supporters. Bill Clinton that is.
They were convinced a Clinton administration would make “rich” people pay more in taxes. Again, these were educated, intelligent, successful businessmen and they had bought the lie about “paying their fair share.” Subodh warned them it would come back to bite them and the gentleman would regret it.
Fast forward six months later and my friend Subodh is at another family party, same people, same discussion, taxes, and they were “shocked, shocked I say,” to find they were rich and would be paying their “fair share,” and they are none too happy about it. And Subodh just smiled, reminding them, “I warned you!”

The New York Times has has great influence on policy makers and other “public servants”. Consider this article from the October 22nd edition:

Income taxes are just part of the Hillary plan. Her energy policies will likely add large federal excise taxes and cost increases to gasoline, air conditioners, refrigerators and other electrical appliances. The cost of electricity will skyrocket too. Expect to be sweltering or shivering in your darkened homes and waiting in line for your ration of$5 per gallon gasoline under President Hillary.
