Hillary Clinton: My Plan for Shared Prosperity
Wall Street Journal ^ | 2/4/08 | Hillary Clinton

Posted on 02/04/2008 5:44:25 PM PST by MV=PY

By HILLARY CLINTON February 4, 2008; Page A15

Throughout my campaign, I have been listening to the voices of people across America. I met one man who told me, "I don't know what I did wrong. I got my education and I worked hard. I've been at the same company for 12 years now, but I've just been asked to train my successor because my job is moving to another country."

Another woman said to me, "I just can't make ends meet. My health care premiums have doubled, college tuition is up. How am I supposed to make it as a single mom?"

I am running for president to bring those voices to the White House and give people a chance to achieve the American Dream: having a good job, owning their own home and living with financial security. That means tackling our toughest challenges -- rising inequality, stagnating wages and a growing sense that too many middle class families are just one pink slip away from financial devastation.

My measure of economic success will never be a single, dry statistic. Rather, success means an economy that allows those at the bottom to work their way into the middle class, without pushing anyone out. It means leaving people better off when I finish than when I start. In short, success means an economy that shares its prosperity with all.

Sorry. I was just trying to help. This didn’t look like it belonged in Breaking News.

Rising inequality, that’s easy to fix!! We’ll just have the government confiscate all personal property so everyone has nothing and thus is equal.

Well, I guess that "Mommy Government"TM will just have to take care of you. You poor little thing.

It's a good thing that Hillary! is here, or else you might end up eating out of a dumpster.
