U.S. firms’ thirst for quick profits hurts workers, Clinton will say

And there’s the issue of a democratic candidate campaigning in a red state. He described “growth that lifts up the middle class-all the families who haven’t gotten a raise in 15 years”.

But with the final top-tier Republican contender – Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker – getting into the race later Monday, Clinton is clearly most interested in ensuring she’s contrasting her theory of economic success with that of the GOP. She will note how her challenge differs from that of Obama, whose actions were shaped largely around fixing the immediate financial crisis he inherited.

Sandy Palmer said: “I think Hillary Clinton can’t be trusted and there is no way she will get my vote!” But the preview of Monday’s speech makes it clear Clinton “will strike less of a rabble-rousing tone than Sanders, challenging “top-down” Republican policies without suggesting that capitalism is inherently rigged against families on the bottom”, notes Politico. “People have the correct feeling that the system is not fair”. She will propose to undo incentives that fuel this short-term approach; promote investment in worker training, research and development, and other sources of long-term growth; and support new mechanisms for shareholder activism, presumably when it comes to reining in executive compensation. She will say that her own plans involve a conscious focus on middle class incomes.

Alan Blinder, a Princeton University economist and ex- economic adviser to President Bill Clinton, said the ex- first lady has expressed interest in policies to curb excessive risk on Wall Street, such as a financial transactions tax on high-frequency trading, taxes on large Wall Street banks based on their risk profile and eliminating the so-called carried interest loophole that allows managers of hedge funds and private equity firms to pay a lower tax rate than most individuals. Clinton came to Utah in 2008, when she held a rally for then-presidential candidate Barack Obama. They are the kind of policies being demanded by the increasingly influential wing of the Democratic party led by Massachusetts Sen.

Eric Temple said: “I want a democratic president, but I’d rather have Bernie Sanders”. “To many lies, to many hidden agendas, very untrustworthy!” Though Clinton will not reveal any specifics Monday, aides say the plan includes an increase in the minimum wage, a lowering of the debt burden on college students and new rules for corporate accountability. At a recent fundraiser June 6, ex- Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made a low-key stop at a gathering of high-profile Indians.

In her standard stump speech, Hillary Rodham Clinton talks about fighting income inequality, celebrating court rulings on gay marriage and health care, and, since the Emanuel AME Church massacre, toughening the nation’s gun laws…

Boosting government investment in clean energy is also included. Sanders has gained considerable support in Iowa and New Hampshire as he rails against Wall Street, calls for expanding Social Security and unapologetically pushes to boost a variety of taxes on the wealthy.
