But wasn't Bernie's tax ideas focused on making rich people and corporations pay their fair share?

I feel like that applies to all rich people. The current president ran his candidacy on being a good businessman, while in the middle of dealing with somehow brankrupting a casino.

A mirrored response:

Because Clinton couldn't defend stances like opposition to a $15 minimum wage and her campaign contributions from Goldman Sachs, Hillary Clinton had to project these factual statements into a smear campaign of lies and innuendo rather than deal with the truth behind them. When challenged to come up with a single position for which there is solid proof that Clinton's stance was chosen because of campaign contributions, Bernie Sanders couldn't come up with anything. Similarly, we know that Jeff Sessions, Mitch McConnell, and other Republican senators never took a position because of Exxon dollars, right? Clinton's implicit alliance with SuperPACs which donate to politicians like these caused lasting damage, making it harder to unify progressives in the general election.

Hillary Clinton is really bothered by the thought that it's possible a day doesn't go by where Bernie Sanders doesn't regret what he did. He's not a Democrat, and she thinks people that aren't willing to kiss the ring and stand by their party instead of policies have no place in politics. He's fundamentally right about the Democratic Party -- the party that brought us the atom bomb under Roosevelt, the Vietnam War under Johnson, a reduction of capital gains from as high as 98% to 28% under Carter, and means-testing and welfare reform under Clinton, and the Wall Street bailout under Obama. People are ashamed to call themselves Democrats, and the world would be a better place if people like Hillary Clinton could see why.

No you see a universal health care plan would not do anything to cut costs, therefore you would need to raise taxes on the middle class to pay for it

no, see, that's an unattainable pipedream and/or would require raising taxes on the middle class

Bernie actually said this himself at a town hall: "yeah, your taxes will go up a little, but thanks to not having to pay for your overpriced insurance plan you'll come out in the black." Why HRC is acting like this would be some primary-ending bombshell that mean ol' Obama wouldn't let her pull the trigger on I don't know.

IMO autobiography is one thing, but the nominee of a major political party owes the American people this kind of explanation for free

which makes me imagine her "free is unrealistic" talking points applied to the book itself

I like how prosperity under Clinton was actually kicking the can due to things like helped the GOP execute their finance sector deregulation program.
