In a speech designed to float ideas for raising incomes for “hardworking Americans,” Hillary Clinton says she’d make some changes if elected president.
Clinton, considered the front-runner for the Democratic nomination, used her appearance July 13 at the New School in New York’s Greenwich Village to outline an economic message organized by what she called “strong growth,” “fair growth” and “long-term growth.”
“We can’t create enough jobs and new businesses without more growth, and we can’t build strong families and support our consumer economy without more fairness,” she said, adding:
The defining economic challenge of our time is clear: We must raise incomes for hardworking Americans so they can afford a middle-class life. We must drive strong and steady income growth that lifts up families and lifts up our country.

1.Achieve “comprehensive immigration reform” as an engine of growth. “Bringing millions of hardworking people into the formal economy,” she said, “would increase our gross domestic product by an estimated $700 billion over 10 years.”
*Achieving immigration "reform", (legalizing 11 illegal million immigrants, making illegal immigration less onerous,punitive, making legalized immigration easier to achieve)
*positioning immigration as tool for economic growth (despite studies that show illegal immigrants like those from Mexico being from the lowest, least education of Mexican society.
#5 Change “the current rules for our economy” so that jobs such as “actually building and selling things” don’t pay so much less than work such as financial trading. She would not only raise the minimum wage but “go further,” Clinton said. “I’ll crack down on bosses who exploit employees by misclassifying them as contractors or even steal their wages.”
6.Propose ways to “encourage companies to share profits with their employees.”
*The 25 Points of Hitler's Nazi Party
-We demand profit-sharing in large industries.
That all unearned income(my words)*such as income derived from speculation,,financial trading and* all income that does not arise from work, be abolished.
9-To reverse the decline of unions in the private sector, “stand up to efforts across our country to undermine worker bargaining power.”
*Speaks for itself
10.To revitalize poor neighborhoods, embrace conservative ideas such as “reviving the New Markets Tax Credit and Empowerment Zones” to create greater incentives for private investors.
11.Promote “clear-eyed capitalism,” which she said is not charity. “Many companies have prospered by improving wages and training their workers that then yield higher productivity, better service and larger profits.” One proposal: a $1,500 apprenticeship tax credit for every worker trained and hired by an employer.
12.Change capital gains taxes “to reward longer-term investments that create jobs more than just quick trades” and propose other ways “to help CEOs and shareholders alike focus on the next decade rather than just the next day.”
13.Impose regulations on financial institutions that “go beyond Dodd-Frank” and “rein in excessive risks” identified by the government. “Too many of our major financial institutions are still too complex and too risky,” she said.
*Socialist perspsective
14.Appoint regulators “who understand that [the philosophy of] ‘too big to fail’ is still too big a problem” and who will “ensure that no firm is too complex to manage or oversee.”
15Prosecute individuals and companies suspected of fraud or “other criminal wrongdoing” and funnel any recovered damages into a trust fund “to benefit the public.”
16“Make sure Washington learns from how well local governments, business and non-profits are working together in successful cities and towns across America.”
17“Drive progress” without passing bills and making rules. “As president, I’ll use the power to convene, connect and collaborate to build partnerships that actually get things done.”
Marxist double-talk intended exclusively to get the votes of the proles by promising to collectivize the economy.
It’ll work as well as it did in the now-broken Soviet Union.
“More fairness” is liberal newspeak for taking money from the producers and giving it to the indolent.
She should just re-brand as NASDAP and be done with it.
Electing Hitlery Clinton president would be like granting Satan absolution and giving him the keys to Heaven.
Blah, blah, more government programs, blah, blah, bigger government, blah blah, more coercive government, blah blah.
"Steal their wages??" What is Ubershrew talking about??
I remember years ago, a guy working on my Dad's farm said he was going to support Hubert Humphrey because "he was going to help the little guy".
You're right... it's still take from those with more and give it to those with less.
Like the Obumbler, all she is capable of changing is from one LIE to another.
Empower private sector unions. Yeah, that’ll encourage investment in our country.
Let's start with the individual Clintons and their Foundation!
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress. [emphases added]” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
The ill-conceived 17th Amendment needs to disappear, and corrupt, state sovereignty-ignoring senators and activist justices along with it.
Hillary’s a liar - why would we believe her on anything?
Noumenon, you spent some time in the Navy, didn’t you? ;-)
Whenever someone tells me that the Rats want to help the poor, I ask them why would they do that? The Rats NEED people to be poor in order to stay in power.

This is F***ing more of the same nonsense that is killing the economy today. Only a stupid democrap, millenial, or low info voter would buy this crap. Oh wait...
“Fair growth”? Who comes up with this crap?
Clinton is trying to fuse Elizabeth Warren’s and Bernie Sanders’ abject Bolshevik-Leninist ideology with regulatory state fascism of Obama.
It makes sense. Marx said monopoly would precede socialism. Obama has seen a corporate state of regulated monopoly and oligopoly as an alternative to socialism, because in a corporate state, regulated monopoly and oligopoly actors become de facto state actors.
Actually, no. Why do you ask?
