She has even lost Axios:

The comment on what would be happening in the media if a Republican said stuff even half as stupid is on target. I would also agree that the best thing that can happen for the 2018 elections is to encourage her keep talking and encourage dems to further embrace her. :)

So she's arguing for a flat rate income tax structure? I thought that ended with Steve Forbes.

I don't recall a hardcore Dem ever arguing for a flat tax. They're always about using "progressive" tax rates to punish the rich. They define "rich" as anyone not a democrat congress critter with more than two dimes to rub together.

Understood. But when asked what she considered a "fair share" was, she pretty clearly (I thought) said everyone should pay 15 percent.

To be honest, I was astonished. "Flabbergasted" might be a better word, in fact.

I'm sure the by "everyone" she means all the rich people that make more than poverty level wages.

Jerry Brown did, as part of a team that took the flat-tax side in some C-Span debate program. All that being said, he’s still an ideological socialist.

I actually believe there are people like Jerry Brown on that side of the aisle who see the logic, and in point of fact, fairness, of a flat tax. It's just political suicide for them to push such a thing. But then I guess you could say the same for the R side of the aisle.

Here, she was apparently supposed to introduce a candidate at the end of her speech (I'm presuming that was the whole reason why she flew half-way across the world), and she forgot.

Remember how bad at math she is. She probably meant you keep 15% and pay 85%.

I think it behooves us to remember that the facts (or the math) are what Leftists say they are at that particular moment - and until they say otherwise.

The correct points of view or policies are what Leftists say they are at that particular moment - and until they say otherwise.

And you're a racist.

Racism is whatever Leftists say it is at that particular moment - and until they say otherwise.
