2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumShe denounced trickle down reaganomics last night
Said we must tax the wealthy and invest in the middle class. That tax breaks for billionaires harm us yet not one word in the media today.
I agree with Thom Hartmann's question today, "Why isn't this front page news?"

pulls in a mlllion+ a year, they don't really like it when any candidate starts talking about taxing the wealthy. Nor do their sponsors. You can tell the news outlets that actually understand what most people are facing because their reporters are paid real wages.

yeah, media has no incentive to make that the story. It will be nice to see her hammer this stuff home once she has the bully pulpit, and I hope that's the Clinton we get to see in the White House.
