Do a word search for the word and here's the singular mention of it:

During her 2008 presidential bid, Clinton was relatively non-committal about reforms to the Social Security program. She said in 2007 that certain reforms such as cutting benefits, privatizing the program or raising the retirement age were "off the table." There were some articles at the time that gave mixed signals on whether she would be willing to increase payroll taxes.


Her problem is that she thinks that ~$100,000 to ~250,000 is "middle class", and that's in 2008.

She mentions educators. Well, that simply isn't true for school teachers, that's an admin salary.

The candidate doesn't even know what middle class is.

She's a loser. She is going to lose. She lost me and I hope that she loses other ordinary and smart voters.

This is primary season and we need to pick a winner. Sanders.
