New York Mayor Bill de Blasio insisted that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton call for higher taxes on the wealthy, a $15-an-hour minimum wage and an end to preferential treatment for carried interest earned by private-equity managers.
De Blasio, a self-described progressive, said in April that he was withholding his endorsement of Clinton in the 2016 Democratic presidential primary until she lays out specific plans for tacking income inequality.
