It's a point I've made since my very first campaign: Nobody in this country got rich on their own. They relied on infrastructure we all paid for, employees we all paid to educate. So if you're successful, good for you—now pay it forward so everyone has a chance at success. pic.twitter.com/FAuZhggAGk

1. "Nobody in this country got rich on their own. They relied on infrastructure we all paid for, employees we all paid to educate."
Okay, sure but so what? We all, rich and poor have access to exactly the same infrastructure.
2. "So if you're successful, good for you—now pay it forward so everyone has a chance at success."
--That's good advice, one should try to do some good in the world. She isn't really giving advice though, she is advocating for at least three things:
1. She is not giving advice to rich people, she is advocating the confiscation of their riches.
2. She is therefore not asking the rich to voluntarily donate their money.
3. Because if they did, it would be rich people deciding where it should be spent, instead of politicians like her.
