Hilary Clinton has a lot of nerve- but I guess we knew that.
Her suggestion that we need to create a society based on shared responsibility and shared prosperity is interesting: If only everyone in our society who could take responsibility for their own prosperity would take responsibility for it, a more prosperous society would result.
I like the idea of living in a "we're all in it together society" but I want my neighbors to be people who are also contributing to all of our prosperity. Do I get to pick my neighbors in her society? Probably not...
I am more than willing to create a society that cares for people who can not take responsibility for their own prosperity. My son, who is totally deaf and totally blind, deserves to be cared for by a compassionate society. He can not wake up tomorrow and decide to see or hear. People who can choose to change their lives better should not expect the government to care for them while they dilly dally making poor choices.
HRod stated in her typical class warfare encouraging language: "I believe our government can once again work for all Americans." Our government shouldn't be working for people. The idea that the government must compel people to give of their wealth so that government can redistribute prosperity to those who perhaps are less responsible should be problematic to all Americans who hope to someday live a better life. (Of course one of the problems people like Hilary fail to acknowledge: there exists a segment of our society that is quite content to live a standard of life that those who seek prosperity would never accept.)
If Clinton really wanted to promote her talking point she could draft legislation that would offer a dollar for dollar tax credit for every dollar given to a charity in order to further this we're all in it together bologna.
Of course, you won't be seeing this anytime soon because her goal is not really to build a better society. Her goal is to fan the flames of distrust and to perpetuate the notion that those who have are selfish.

If we want the society that HRod wants shouldn't we all just get government jobs? That way we would all have healthcare, generous pensions, etc. The union ranks would be filled. The liberals would have an unbreakable voting base. And then maybe we could process all those immigration requests much faster. You wouldn't even have to come to this country illegally. To pay for all this we could simply raise the taxes of the wealthy business owners...wait if we all work for the government there would be no wealthy business owners anymore. Well I guess we could just print more money...Liberal idealism is such folly.
