Did I Just Hear Hillary Say She Was Going To Raise Taxes On The Middle Class

Additionally, people with post-graduate degrees also vote democratic.
Let me get this straight. You are saying that ALL people with post-graduate degrees vote the democratic party?
good comedic, relief keep it coming.
Bad day could only find 1lb of the gun powder I need.

It does fascinate me how liberals/progressives think of themselves as inherently more intelligent. On some issues I've had discussions with liberals/progressives, I've run circles around them, waiting for them to get to the table of reason. It's amazing how much of liberalism is an appeal to emotion. "Won't anyone think of the children?"

Btw, it's funny Hillary almost called Trump her husband, but corrected it fast enough to not really be a big deal. I imagine if Trump did anything similar, it would be headline news for at least 2 days.

It just might take a post grad degree in diversity studies to explain
the technical reasons why Hillary didn't say what she just said.

Yes, and a very large part of true intellect involves "connecting the dots" and not just how many facts one may know, and some can have fact upon fact in their head but not do a very good job of connecting them in a logical and coherent fashion. Studies on liberals v conservatives usually show the former to be generally better at connecting the dots. Scientific American has had a fair number of articles over the years on this and other related items.

I wonder if Scientific American has ever published a study about the mutual admiration society called "the modern liberal".
Instances of them praising their own as having superior intellect, education, morality & claim upon THE TRUTH are legion.

Btw, Sci Am is a fun periodical to peruse for mathematical errors in the articles.
Peer review could be a bit more thorough.

Of course not all, I never said that. Some vote republican for the 1% tax breaks, the majority vote democratic. The republican party doesn't care about the middle class, they have no middle class policies. Cut taxes? For the rich, from 35% to 15%. For corporations, keep the subsidies rolling and tax breaks. For the middle class? I think he said $2,000 a year. Not sure the details.

Hmmm so Democrats are anti-Wall Street and Republicans are pro-Wall Street. Is that what you are saying? Guess the following article has it all wrong then
The lines around what constitutes a hedge fund aren’t always clear in the data, or in the financial industry. But the numbers are stark. OpenSecrets.org, the center’s website, says employees or owners of hedge funds and private equity firms contributed $27.6 million to pro-Clinton groups or her campaign, according to federal data released in July. Counting contributions from similar private investment funds, the data show seven financial firms alone have generated nearly $48.5 million for groups working on Mrs. Clinton’s behalf.

The total for Donald Trump: About $19,000.

Well the video says it all. Now some of you diehard Hillary fanatics will say she just misspoke. However, sometimes attributed to a mistake is actually a sub-concise truth that slips out.

I heard an "aren'" in there. She could have separated the two and said "are not" like most people do to make it clearer what she was saying.

This is why you don't use contractions in your English papers, kiddies.

"titties like right here in Detroit."

I don't even know what to say. :D
I do.
I just noticed how Putin is towered over by dignitaries he meets.
So I looked up his height.
5'7".
He's a little fella, only a couple inches taller than Hillary!
(Btw, Trump is 7'8" according to his various statements.
Others estimate it at 6'2".)

Democrats are anti-greed and anti-corruption. Republicans are the opposite. Republicans get more support from Wall Street than Democrats. Want to continue seeing the middle class struggle? Keep voting republican.
Republicans like to complain about how the middle class wages have been stagnant, but they're the ones who don't want wage increases. Notice the hypocrisy? They are the ones responsible.

Raise the minimum wage for the following benefits:

-Economy boost
-Less people on public assistance
-More jobs
-Less crime
-etc.

Don't let the corporate republican party tell you it will kill jobs, they like to scare people.

Wall Street supports whoever they want at the given time of the election. They supported Obama (more likely to fix economy), then Rmoney (more likely to lax regulations). Democrats are the ones protesting with OWS to hold Wall Street accountable for their contribution to the Bush recession. Won't see conservatives doing that. Conservatives probably think Wall Street was innocent. Then Bush bails them out.
