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 crazy idiot, perhaps obscene retirement for politicians at all levels has a role to play in you pious pontification...
There is no such thing as ‘shared prosperity’. The fall of the U.S.S.R. should have taught that to this simple-minded idiot.
will Her Highness and her husband offer their share to make this egalitarian society they want successful?”

I was wondering the same thing.....fat chance!
Beat me to it. Hillary is starting to fly her Marxist flag.
Does this mean that she is foregoing senatorial pensions?
After all, she doesn't need it...
Man, what’d he do, sail to Europe?
That’s a lot of gas. He should get his engine checked out.
That would make a great sticker for my truck’s rear window.
“We will have to take something from you for the common good”. HRC
Hold on to your wallets -— if she gets elected, it will be a rough ride.
And this wench wants to save the middle class??????
So Hilary Rotten Clinton (aka Her Thighness) is a Communist.
File this story under “Duh, Well”
“It’s fine if you want to live in a bubble and just ignore everything that doesn’t fit your viewpoint but the cold, hard reality is that it doesn’t win elections.”
The cold hard reality is that the economy is booming. I don’t know what bubble you are living in, but this is complete tripe and fart gas. I read this poppycock in union thug newspapers.
Its a lie.
“There are problems and they have to be addressed.”
What problems? Please tell me! The Dow average is at its highest point in history and going higher, GDP and GNP are through the roof.
What in the name of hell are you talking about?
“Just telling everyone things are glorious is dumb strategy and insulting to boot.”
What’s insulting is buffoons like you who look at the economic numbers and then try to tell the rest of us that it sucks!!
Go back to your union hall and let them tell you how bad things are.
Slick Willie’s economic numbers where only a fraction of what they are now, and you would have thought it was Utopia according to leftist thugs and MSM. Just because you hate W and don’t want to give him and his tax cut credit for a roaring economy, that’s your problem, live with it.
Show me the numbers, show me the facts that the economy is in the tank and people are mad. Show me.
You can’t because the pig sh!t propaganda you are spewing is just that, a lie.
BTW, what’s the unemployement percentage?
Bet it beats Clintoon’s by a mile.
Our local paper is doing a series on the poor. Today’s article was about the cost of healthy foods and used a guy on food stamps who has cable TV to make their point, which I guess I must have missed.
Communism is cruel.
Communism kills.
Toss this anti-liberty fool out the door.
Sorry, Hillary. Marx already had this idea close to 150 years ago. And it’s still a bad idea.
He spent hours and hours out on the water up and down the Jersey Shore for 3-4 days, I guess. But he’s in tough financial straits, I guess.
That’s all folks.
You can’t run a campaign ignoring the feelings of a lot of people or discounting their concerns.
And they wonder why the GOP is called the Stupid Party.
Get ready for a democrat takeover for decades to come.
Ignore what’s out there.
“I prefer a ‘we’re all in it together’ society,” she said
otherwise known as communism.
Commisar Hillary has spoken!
Obama is getting traction among the illiterati with “from each according to their abilities to each according to their needs” communism.
This is the third way collectivist stuff she has been following for decades. (hillarycare, taxes=contributions, profit penalty taxes)
“What’s insulting is buffoons like you who look at the economic numbers and then try to tell the rest of us that it sucks!!
Go back to your union hall and let them tell you how bad things are.”
I’d rather go back to the campaign strategy because attitudes like yours are going to cause us to lose.
Damn socialist - spit.
I bet HER money is safe.
Yesterday I heard a report that madam Hillary and Slick chair a charity that has taken in $5 million, distributing $1.5 million.
They aren't 'sharing'.
Oh, and they failed to list the 'charity' on their 1040 forms.
"Just an oversight".
What a pair.
