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."
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.

We both keep telling ourselves that the American people aren’t this stupid...
Aesop’s fable of the Grasshopper and the Ants was lost on her.
I remember reading a book in which she was quoted as chiding Bill about who he was hanging out with...sometime to the effect of “why are you hanging around this person? He isn’t rich or successful”.
A lying hypocrite power mad insane person living in that ugly pantsuit!!!
They need the “immigrant” votes to help get this sort of thing through.
To paraphrase...since I don’t have the actual quote...”once they realize they can vote themselves money, it’s all over”
The Republicans are helping with this - the consequences are devestating. What has been a proven failure will replace a proven success. But people like Hillary will have even more power to direct who gets the money. I guess that is the point. And people like me will just have to shut up and be greateful for what I get to keep that I think of as mine.
Excellent idea!
I love simple solutions - especially the ones that don’t cost much money.
I’m going to try to find spools of varying sizes to handle different pistol geometry and mass — and to allow the addition of a large rubber band from spool to spool to prevent accidental dislodgement during “harsh” door closure.
Without rubber band restraints, have you had any incidents of a pistol falling?
Thanks for taking the time to answer my freep mail...

Her collectivist vision is my worst nightmare. I would be better off in Brazil, where we can still worship Christ freely.

Spoken like a true Marxist, and without shame.
Basically it means, you get to live a lowest common denominator lifestyle while the party elite live large.
> The Democratic senator
She is NOT Democratic. She is Democrat. BIG difference.

> society” really is an “on your own” society
What am I missing here? “On your own” is what made this country GREAT! You don’t have to look far to see what happens to countries that implement a Marxist vision.
Like Cuba.
> that has widened the gap between rich and poor.
The class card.
I don’t see the Klintons giving any of their money away.
> “I prefer a ‘we’re all in it together’ society,”
This from a leader of what is probably the most divisive political party in American history.
“We’re all in it together” means that she will force you at gunpoint to share the fruits of your labor with the ne’er do well bum down the street while she and her family continue to live large.

> Americans.
Read your Constitution HAG. The federal government was never meant to be a Nanny.
> It can promote the great American tradition of
> opportunity for all and special privileges for none.”
Unabashed Marxist appeal to the thief in everyone.
Are there really any grownups left that still believe this stuff?
> That means pairing growth with fairness
Yes, all Marxists hide their totalitarian collectivist goals behind making things “fair”.
Maybe somebody should tell this economics maven that Growth IS fairness! That’s why my parents came to America! They knew all about a government-imposed “fairness”. They came here to GET AWAY from that!

> global economy, not just corporate CEOs.
Just in case she hasn’t been paying attention, unless the corporations and their CEOs succeed, there’s NO CHANCE that the “middle class” can succeed, or even exist!
> “There is no greater force for economic growth than free
> markets.
Astonishing statement from a committed collectivist. There has to be a catch somewhere else ...
> But markets work best with rules that promote
> our values, protect our workers and give all people a
> chance to succeed,” she said.
I just KNEW there’d be a catch.
Look. My parents came from a hardscrabble catch-as-catch can survival-of-the-fittest struggle they call “life” in other parts of the world. They worked hard, lived the American dream, and in one generation were able to send their children to American colleges.
There is no better chance to succeed than the economy we have right now. Tampering with that to implement some Marxist dystopian ideal of “fairness” is an invitation to DISASTER.
But then again, disaster might be what she wants.
For you and me, anyway, certainly not for her.
> “Fairness doesn’t just happen. It requires the right
> government policies.”
Oh please.
Just have a look at what “diversity” and the “war on poverty” have done for “fairness”. We’ve spent TRILLIONS of dollars only to see things become orders of magnitude worse now than they were before these “government policies” were implemented.

I live in New Hampshire. These students were probably ramped off that they had to sit and listen to this socialist cow tell them how she was going to take their hard-earned money and give it to the drunken bum next door, while they could have been out apprenticing for real money.

Ted Knight said pretty much the same thing in “Caddy Shack” when he said, “The world needs ditch diggers, too.”
I'll wager she knows exactly what she's talking about and she's hoping her audience isn't paying attention. If she gets elected and the government helps us all "share", folks will pay attention. Some thought she just wanted socialized medicine--just wait until she gets her hands on the tax code!
When I need my dose of Hillary amusement, I go here.

Yep, it takes a villiage - with Mexico included!
She, and so many like her, want to take away what people like my father fought for during WWII.
It amazes me that she could become the next POTUS when she’s a socialist/communist/marxist, etc. But, she’s not the only one. There’s Obama and Edwards and all the others in the dem party who want the same thing. And some some republicans too.
My husband keeps telling me that she will not win if she’s the nominee, nor will Obama, but I’m not buying that yet. He has no doubt that a Republican will win in 2008, especially if either Hillary or Obama are on dem ticket. He thinks Edwards could win if he’s the dem nominee but the other two have no chance.
It's very fitting for her.
I'm sure there will come a time when you can use
it for the "Breck Girl", and the "Magic Negro," too. ;o)
Yep, but the mainstream media can not bring itself to use the word “Socialist” when referring to the good Comrade. Not even Fox News will use the word in her behalf. Socialist, Socialist, Socialist! Now, if we can only somehow persuade the media to use the word....
the Russians in that book were all in that one together, too. i absolutely shudder if that woman gets elected. even if she is the democrat nominee.
Thank you DC. The story of Animal Farm kind of touched home with me and fit in with todays politics.
Don’t know that most people are aware of the ‘origin’ of the story.
