Does anyone else find Hillary's attack on rich people a little ironic?

After all, she is one of them. So is John Kerry... and John Edwards... and Ted Kennedy... and Jay Rockefeller. How can people believe these folks when they talk about raising taxes on the rich? Does anyone in their right mind really think they have not protected their assets and will not be coming after people's money? After all, where is the line between rich and upper middle class? Nobody seems to define that. It's just another label like "conservative" or "liberal" or "black" or "white" as if everyone is each of these groups agrees on every single issue.

Townhall.com reports this, "During a major campaign address delivered in Manchester New Hampshire, Mrs. Clinton explained her intent to eliminate the so-called 'tax cuts for the wealthy,' and introduced new ways for government to spend American’s money." Is this American? It certainly has become so with Democrat policies, but is not what the country was intended to be.

My opinion is that Mrs. Clinton will talk to the left of left on issues before the primary to get herself annointed "queen bee" and then move center as the 2008 election draws near. Her willing accomplices in the media will totally ignore her previous statements when she contradict her earlier positions when she does so.

Read Austin Hill's piece at Townhall.com here. It will open your eyes.
