Speaking at a Labor Day rally in Hampton, Ill., today Hillary Clinton threatened to imprison employers for wage theft.
Were going to go back to enforcing labor laws, Clinton said. Im going to make sure that some employers go to jail for wage theft and all the other abuses that they engage in.
And we are going to make it harder and harder to stop what should be the right of every American: to join a union and bargain collectively through that union, she continued. But, Ill tell you, weve got a fight on our hands.
The presumed 2016 Democratic candidate also endorsed President Obamas executive order mandating government contractors provide employees paid leave.
I was very proud that President Obama said today he is going to require federal contractors to provide seven days of earned paid sick leave, she said. And hes going to fight for paid family leave, something that Ive been fighting for for 30 years and were going to get it done. Its not right to treat working people as though they dont have other responsibilities.
The more desperate her campaign becomes, and the closer she comes to having to deal with a somewhat ordinary life, the more radical her rhetoric will become.
It gives a little hope to see Hillary and Go To Jail in the same sentence. Has a ring to it.
Yeah, the owner of the company who installed her server...
This should go a long way towards helping the workers. The boss is in jail. No job. Looks like we’ll be getting a whole new batch of artists, poets and guitar players.
How about jail some for hiring illegals? That would be enforcing the law right?
how bout jail for being Hillary?
I thought the headline was “I will make some employees go to jail.” You know. Huma, the IT guy...
Cruz talks about restraining government and freeing the American economy.
Trump talks about making America great again.
Hillary talks about putting Americans in prison.
Biden babbles and gibbers incoherently.
Fascinating.
You first bitch.
She does seem to favor orange.
Well then she can discuss business policies with them during yard time.
Sounds like Hillary has been re-reading “Das Capital”. Marx asserted that the wealth of the capitalist, ie, employers, resulted from their withholding wealth rightfully belonging to the workers by paying them less than the fair value for their work. Anyone paying less than a “living wage” would be guilty of “wage theft”.
Shelling out $100 mil to the Baraq Obama Foundation for a POTUS pardon in Jan 2017 will hurt nearly as much as going to jail, LOL.
What about immigration laws and employers who hire foreign invaders? What about the same lawless intruders who jump on our welfare gravy train?
No matter the choice, I predict the American people will make the WRONG one.
Wage theft? Avg hourly pay for CEOs 62K. Avg hourly pay for Hillary 300K.
So ... some combination of “Shotgun Blast” Joe Biden, Socialist Sanders, and Hildebeeste?
That's when you bust your hump trying to make a living for your family and then the government taxes the living crap out of you....stealing your money..!!
HRC is still America's choice for 2016; maybe the American people are too uninformed to know about the real HRC.
and just watch Donald Trump step into a steaming pile on this issue:
