New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, who vowed to become a national leader for progressives, took his campaign for higher taxes on the rich to America’s heartland and the home of the first presidential test of 2016.
De Blasio, 53, brought the same message to Des Moines, Iowa, that he delivered to New Yorkers a little more than a year ago, when he became the first Democrat in 20 years to run the largest U.S. city. He says income inequality is the defining issue of our time.
