Why hasn’t Hillary complained about this?

Â
In Bill Clinton’s memoir, “My Life,” published in 2004, we find a passage not dissimilar to something Barack Obama said recently to the disgust of his political adversaries.
The former president wrote:
“If [Republicans] could cut funding for Medicare, Medicaid, education, and the environment, middle-class Americans would see fewer benefits from their tax dollars, feel more resentful paying taxes, and become even more receptive to their appeals for tax cuts and their strategy of waging campaigns on divisive social and cultural issues like abortion, gay rights, and guns.”
There’s another 2004 book, “What’s the Matter with Kansas?,” by Thomas Frank, that’s full of the same points made by Clinton and Obama.
