>No, that also includes the rich who know how to legally avoid taxes. Arianna Huffington is my favorite example.

I'm certainly up for making it more difficult to avoid taxes.

>They are already progressive, and yet the rich continue to get richer.

They got significantly less progressive under Clinton, and the gap did not grow as quickly.

>You can blame Bush all you want, but the gap also grew under Clinton.

Absolutely. I'd vote for Clinton over Bush, but the Clintons are not true progressives and are bought and sold by corporations -- just not to the same extent the Republican party is. And I'm not voting for Hillary in the primary.

But if you were to ask most of the conservatives here, they'd tell you Hillary is a socialist. That's far from the case.
