Stephen Moore: Hillary Spouts Obama Rhetoric on Bashing the Rich

Hillary Clinton is using the same rhetoric as President Barack Obama in slamming the rich and pushing for income distribution, Stephen Moore, chief economist for The Heritage Foundation, tells Newsmax TV.

"She said, you know, I'm not the first female candidate for president, I'm the first grandmother for candidate. Those are cute lines, they humanize her, but the other thing that she did this week was she gave a somewhat inflammatory speech, as a conservative, slamming rich people," Moore said Monday on "The Steve Malzberg Show."

"It was pure, in my opinion, income redistribution — we're going to go after the successful and we're going to help the struggling

"How is this at all different from Barack Obama's rhetoric? If you compare what she's saying with what Barack Obama's said for the last six years, there's not much distinction there."

And Moore believes that's a problem for Clinton's bid for the White House.

"I don't think the American people want a third Obama term. Her rhetoric is purely out of Obama," he told Malzberg.

"It's go after the rich, topple the rich … Raise the minimum wage, more infrastructure spending, tax the rich greater."
