Using the tax code to achieve political goals is a liberal trait. Hillary loves it.

Guilt-by-association fallacy.

I merely point out that you and Hillary embrace the same policy stategies. Different goals, same strategy. It has nothing to do guilt.

Nope, no fallacy whatsoever, since the point upon which the "association" is made (willingness to abuse the tax collection process as a tool of social engineering) is in and of itself the evil act.

For instance, it would be wrong to tar Saddam Hussein by association with Adolf Hitler because they both wear silly little mustaches, but it would be perfectly reasonable to do so because they are both murderous dictators.
