I think it started even before her involvement with Goldwater. Things stick in your subconscious when you're a kid. There is a big difference between a childhood that turns you into a Goldwater fan and a childhood that makes you a fan of Lyndon Johnson and the Great Society.
And then there was her experience as First Lady of Arkansas, not exactly a Progressive state. Not even a liberal one for that matter.
As First Lady of the U.S., she took on the American Health Insurance industry. Maybe that defeat turned her into a "pragmatist," meaning that she learned to settle for what corporate America would let her have, and developed a "fuck you I've got mine, Jack" attitude to go along with her pragmatism. Bill's impeachment had to have made an impression.
After Kennedy, Kerry and Daschle stabbed her in the back, she compromised with Obama in 2008, giving up her campaign before the Democratic convention in return for the Secretary of State job and a place at the head of the line of candidates for the Democratic nomination in 2016. Had to be a bitter pill to swallow.
Here's how they make a zombie. Drug them and bury them. Dig them up, beat them and give them their zombie name. Put them to work in the fields.

The One Per Cent At Work
This is the speech she claims she made to tell Wall Street to "cut it out." You judge for yourself. I think it's less about what she says than about the cozy, collegiate atmosphere of the event. Definitely the One Per Cent at work.
She probably thinks she gave them hell. She has a habit of investing events with emotion and drama. And that's probably the way she remembers them. Troubling to say the least.

Who are these people? Where did they come from? Where are they going?
