Democratic presidential candidate and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the US economy requires a "toppling" of the wealthiest 1%, according to a New York Times report published Tuesday.

Clinton reportedly made the comments in a meeting with economists earlier this year, when she was shown a graph that "charted how real wages, adjusted for inflation, had increased exponentially for the wealthiest Americans, making the bar so steep it hardly fit on the chart."

"Clinton pointed at the top category and said the economy required a 'toppling' of the wealthiest 1 percent, according to several people," writes The Times' Amy Chozick.

Well there goes most of the government!

[iowacornman]

She has committed the following crimes that the attorney General has sworn to uphold.
1. Removal of Government property from the State department.
2. Destruction of Government property
3. 20 counts of bribery and corruption including reciprocating with government policies under her control. We have only one solid one until the book breaks loose. That is where her husband got 1 million from the Canadian bank and shortly thereafter she had the State Department approve of the Key Stone pipeline in the face of fierce opposition by the White house. $1 million for a 22 minute speech to nobody.

She makes Senator Bob Manendez look great!! Where is her multicount indictment? This is 3rd world !! Where is the SPECIAL PROCECUTOR ??

She’s proven time and again that she is nowhere near the smartest woman in the world....

[vpintheak]

Class warfare. What an original leftist idea!

[PGR88]

As a progressive / socialist, Hillary wants to sit atop a system that hands out favors to, maintains and perpetuates her so-called “1%”

The end game of fiat money, debt and socialist economics is always and everywhere a thin strata of connected people who are wealthy due to government, with the remaining sheep being fleeced.

Gawd... we are in for some Deep Doo Doo....
Obama has nearly destroyed the Ameican economy and now Hillary is going to bury it for us.

[WilliamofCarmichael]

Hillary is the she in shenanigans.

[faithhopecharity]

old lying poor=mouthing “poverty case” b*tch Hillary is either in the top 1% or da*med near to it

let’s confiscate all her ill-gotten bribe money FIRST!

[combat_boots]

I don’t get this. She and Bill are <1%ers.

[Arm_Bears]

Can’t wait to see Buffett and Gates get the shaft!

[Blood of Tyrants]

Not including herself, of course.

[FredZarguna]

This is either class warfare or a completely non-controversial statement with people who really believe in free market economics.

Capitalism requires that the 1% be "toppled" on an ongoing basis. One of our problems right now is that we have not allowed market forces to remove a significant number of 1%'ers, replacing them with a new group of 1%'ers.

That is a HIGHLY undesirable consequence of bailouts and "too big to fail" mentality.

And despite her rhetoric, Hillary!® really doesn't want any of her cronies at the top to be turfed out. She just wants to make noises.

I am satisfied with my income, home, wife, life.

[Uncle Miltie]

Topple your own 1% first, Hill.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Fascist...

[al_c]

[Cvengr]

So is she going after the wealth of Soros?

[Williams]

Let’s topple these communists instead.
