MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) -- Presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton outlined a broad economic vision Tuesday, saying it's time to replace an "on your own" society with one based on shared responsibility and prosperity.
The Democratic senator said what the Bush administration touts as an "ownership society" really is an "on your own" society that has widened the gap between rich and poor.
"I prefer a 'we're all in it together' society," she said. "I believe our government can once again work for all Americans. It can promote the great American tradition of opportunity for all and special privileges for none."
That means pairing growth with fairness, she said, to ensure that the middle-class succeeds in the global economy, not just corporate CEOs.
"There is no greater force for economic growth than free markets. But markets work best with rules that promote our values, protect our workers and give all people a chance to succeed," she said. "Fairness doesn't just happen. It requires the right government policies."
Clinton spoke at the Manchester School of Technology, which trains high school students for careers in the construction, automotive, graphic arts and other industries. The school highlighted one of the nine goals she outlined: increasing support for alternative schools and community colleges.
"We have sent a message to our young people that if you don't go to college ... that you're thought less of in America. We have to stop this," she said. "Our country cannot run without the people who have the skills that are taught in this school."
Beyond education, Clinton said she would reduce special breaks for corporations, eliminate tax incentives for companies that ship jobs overseas and open up CEO pay to greater public scrutiny.
Clinton also said she would help people save more money by expanding and simplifying the earned income tax credit; create new jobs by pursuing energy independence; and ensure that every American has affordable health insurance.
you have too many cats. give me one.

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism, but under the name of liberalism they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program until one day America will be a socialist nation without ever knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, Socialist Party presidential candidate 1936-1968, co-founder of the American Civil Liberties Union
We're the only beacon of freedom in the world and they're trying to destroy us.
should Socialists like Hillary be given amnesty?
One, in actuality we all work for the government, government stopped working for us. Two, the Democratic Party's raison d'etre is special privileges for 'special' groups, which is in direct confrontation with what she said.
One word...communist.
“She is aiming straight for the kook base that’s drifting toward Obama.”
Actually probably aimed more at the Edwards supporters.
....and the battle for the middle class now begins. Looks like she’s doing an end around the 2 party system......
Since we’re all in it together, can I have some of the money back that I give for public schools which I refuse to send my children to?
Couple that with this from Pelosi's office regarding re-instating the Fairness Doctrine on 5/14:
The decision to press for re-establishment of the Fairness Doctrine now seems to have developed for two reasons. "First, [Democrats] failed on the radio airwaves with Air America, no one wanted to listen," says a senior adviser to Pelosi. "Conservative radio is a huge threat and political advantage for Republicans and we have had to find a way to limit it. Second, it looks like the Republicans are going to have someone in the presidential race who has access to media in ways our folks don't want, so we want to make sure the GOP has no advantages going into 2008."

How about a “We’re all in this together” War on Terror policy.
Shrillery, you fraud! So since we’re “all in this together” I will expect immediate access to all of the bank accounts and investments funds maintained by you and your (pseudo) husband...... I would like access to the tens of millions of dollars you and Bill have been socking away, I really need it don’t ya know, and we’re “all in this together” so I’m sure you won’t mind.....
>This should make the hair stand up on the back of the neck.<
It should, but remember two generations have been severely brainwashed, so HRC’s rhetoric might fall sweetly on too many ears. We really have our job cut out for ourselves!
The Communist owned MSM hates Conservative Radio as much as Conservative Radio hates the Communist owned MSM.
Pelosi and Clinton flexing muscle! Where are our fearless warriors? We must clean House! We must rally behind the one man equipped to turn the country from certain fatality, and we must do it now!
