Ahh, but now she wants to 'take a page from Reagan's book'. Not long ago she slammed Obama over his Reagan statement!

What I liked was that she said she was going to raise taxes on everyone making over $250,000. and reduce taxes on the middle class. Bill blinked and went onto the next subject. Bill Clinton made the exact same tax promise in 1992 and ended up raising taxes on the middle class.

http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F0CE4D9103CF93BA25751C0A965958260&scp=2&sq=clinton+middle+class+tax+cut&st=nyt

“The first challenge in selling Mr. Clinton’s plan to raise taxes on the middle class would seem to be overcoming the voluble history of his many specific promises to the contrary.
As candidate, Mr. Clinton promised to offer tax relief to families with incomes of less than $80,000 a year. He said he would raise taxes on only “the wealthiest 2 percent,” those with incomes above $200,000 a year, and impose a surtax of 10 percent on those with annual incomes of more than $1 million.
He said that over four years he would squeeze an additional $45 billion out of foreign corporations doing business in the United States. He dismissed as an outrageous falsehood the Republican assertions that his spending programs would mean additional taxes on families making as little as $30,000 a year.
Now, Mr. Clinton proposes to increase income taxes to 36 percent from 31 percent on couples who have taxable income of more than $140,00 a year and on unmarried individuals with taxable income of more than $115,000.
And the “millionaire’s surtax” would be imposed on households with taxable income of more than $250,000 a year. As tax experts predicted, the amount expected to be gained from foreign corporations will be only a few billion dollars. And virtually every family making less than $30,000 a year would not bear the costs of the higher taxes. ‘He Never Said It’
In interviews on Tuesday, James Carville and Paul Begala, Mr. Clinton’s chief political advisers, outlined what would be the central arguments against accusations of political betrayal.
“The first defense is that he never said it,” Mr. Carville said. “Clinton never made a George Bush-style read-my-lips pledge. He said that that would be irresponsible to do.”
Further, Mr. Begala and Mr. Greenberg said their polls and focus group sessions showed that voters accepted the argument that Mr. Clinton had promised only that he would not raise taxes on the middle class to pay for the new Government programs he would propose. They said the research also showed that voters believed Mr. Clinton when he said he had been forced to reluctantly accept middle-class tax increases when he found out, after the election, that the budget deficit was worse than he had thought.”
