Does anyone think hillary is talking about communism or socialism when she and bill talk about "shared responsibility" and "economic inequality?"
If someone is successful, works hard, and starts a business is that person contributing to "economic inequality" by not sharing his money or wealth with someone who does not effort?
Any ideas?

The Democrats do not realize how much they turn voters like me off when they talk about this "collective responsibility" nonsense. I work hard, get good grades, and will make lots of money when I finish my law degree so why should I have to pay for those who do not achieve the same as me. Isn't that like taking GPA points away from me because I score in the top ten percent and giving them to the bottom ten percent to create "academic equality."

No, that person is just selfish & possibly greedy.
Do u consider Bill Gates & Warren Buffet (and many others) communists?
Or would u say that they are philantropists that feel lucky that fortune has smiled upon them & wish to share it with the less fortunate. Grow up & stop being so selfish.

She is definitely talking socialism. One of the great things about our country is that we can work and become successes. Hillary wants a classless society. It did not work for Lenon and Marx.

If she's worried about economic equality, will she sell her multimillion dollar house and move into an apartment complex? No.
It's called being Demagogic, her personal opinion changes to please whomever she is speaking to at the time.
It's also called TELLING A LIE.

It doesn't matter. The republicans have made such a mess of things. It's now time for the democrats to come and clean house so that the reps can start all their crap over again.
