Hillary's sole-mate sources of inspiration:

Hillary Clinton said that if she became president, the federal government would take a more active role in the economy, in an effort to address what she said were the excesses of the market and the Bush administration.
She told the New York Times she would put her emphasis on issues like inequality and the role of institutions like government, rather than market forces, in addressing them.
She said that economic excesses -- including executive-pay packages she characterized as often "offensive" and "wrong" and a tax code that had become "so far out of whack" in favoring the wealthy -- were holding down middle-class living standards.

No income caps, Commissar.
It's very simple--I am not joking, I can post about this with authority because I work in Cambridge, MA and have had this argument over and over and over.
People like HRC believe in the Marxist concept that if you are wealthy, it is because you took more than your share from someone else, who thus has less than they should.
HRC and her sort--known as HRCS--believe that one of the reasons we even HAVE a government is to prevent certain people from "getting" too much.
Thus, if someone goes out and creates a new product or industry, they are using this country and its system which is ALL OF OURS to "play the system" and earn MORE than someone else--thus, taking money from an imaginary "closed system" which has only so much wealth to go around.
So if someone is making more than HRCS deem necessary, and can afford luxury items (namely anything beyond essentials and MAYBE a one-week, MODEST vacation), they're not fueling the economy. No, no, NO--their expenditures somehow go nowhere and do nothing.
It is only government which has the right to spend that money, because we ALL get to vote for the executive and legislative branches. Thus, they are our proxies in deciding what should be done with the wealth that's NOT created by an individual but by THE SYSTEM we are ALL a part of.
So any punitive taxes are only about "playing fair" and "leveling the playing field" or otherwise taking back for ALL OF US what those evil rich people "took" from ALL of us.
Now, ain't that logical to you? :D
I don’t know if I can take it.
The country moves ever leftward abetted by both major political parties.

Hillary: ‘We’re Going to Take Things Away From You’
Hillary Clinton knows better than you do how to spend your paycheck. Really she does. Just ask her.
Few media have trumpeted that Sen. Clinton exposed her socialist agenda during a speech Monday in San Francisco (which the Associated Press dubbed the “leftiest big city on the Left Coast”). But don’t take our word for it. We’ll go straight to the horse’s mouth.
“Many of you are well enough off that ... the tax cuts may have helped you. We’re saying that for America to get back on track, we’re probably going to cut that short and not give it to you,” she said at a fund-raiser for radical Sen. Barbara Boxer.
“We’re going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good,” the former first lady admitted.
Hillary, naturally, knows what “the common good” is.
And what the hey. As we reported Tuesday, the Democrats are the party of the filthy rich.

That’s it! I’m not reading any more of your posts. That last one gave me a headache!!!! LOL
Which, of course, explains why certain bureaucrats have secret accounts in the Cayman Islands.
It'll feature a nice portrait of Billy Jeff of course.
I can’t help it if I’m an expert in Clintonese! :D

Some other gems, but recall he is speaking to Wall Street, so he’s not gonna expose his full hand. He also had said (really ticked me off) that American Companies don’t give to charities.
The nine most terrifying words in the English language
are, ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’

It took so long to half-bake it.
“She told the New York Times she would put her emphasis on issues like inequality and the role of institutions like government, rather than market forces, in addressing them.
She said that economic excesses — including executive-pay packages she characterized as often “offensive” and “wrong” and a tax code that had become “so far out of whack” in favoring the wealthy — were holding down middle-class living standards.”
Somewhere in hell...Karl Marx is smiling.
Well, it’s a dubious achievement, to be sure, but I guess someone has to translate. :D
