Clinton Will Unveil Aggressive Economic Agenda That Targets Wall Street, High Earners

By EVAN HALPER

After months of running on broad themes backed by little in the way of actual policy proposals, aides to Hillary Rodham Clinton say that on Monday, she will announce a far-reaching plan to restructure the economy that would disrupt how Wall Street does business.

In what the campaign bills as a landmark speech at the New School in New York City, Clinton will offer a vision for growth that is notably different from the one her husband, Bill Clinton, pursued when he was in the White House and pivots off some of the policies of President Obama.

The agenda, written with input from some of the country’s most liberal economists, reflects not just Hillary Clinton’s effort to appeal to a Democratic party that has drifted leftward, but also disenchantment with the centrist economic policies she once favored.

It seeks to address what has become one of the key concerns of voters this election season: the failure of the economy to raise middle-class income. The problem has consumed policy advisors for both Republicans and Democrats, and strategies for solving it are emerging at the center of every campaign.

She'll raise big bucks from Wall Street anyway, by telling them her real agenda is to squeeze out their smaller competitors and leave all the power in the hands of the big boys.

Of course, they'll be expected to kick something in to the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Foundation.

A billion apiece from each of the top five ought to do it.

This is actually a great campaign strategy for any presidential candidate. Promise to do something to address some kind of idiotic concerns about “income inequality,” then just sit in the White House and do nothing about it anyway ... which is your intention all along because the same Wall Street big shots who were the targets in your campaign speeches are also the ones who are bankrolling your campaign. LOL.

After Bill Clinton made $150 million on speeches alone and $billions siphoned off to the Clinton Foundation donated by Hedge Fund Managers, and their daughter married Marc Mezvinsky!! Nice.

The Democrap primary is very depressing. They're not hiding their communism anymore, which means on of two thing. Either they know that the populous has now been dumbed-down to the point where revolution is possible, or they're completely out of touch and will go down in flames like Mondale.

And if we don't get a conservative nominee, the Democrap will win.

Once you have taken everything from “the rich,” then what?

I have a distant relative who makes millions every year for a crony bank we're all familiar with. The family is liberal and hard-core supporters of Obamacare.

They have employed a housekeeper since their children were kids. The housekeeper is experiencing some kind of illness requiring hospitalization.

The family was lamenting to my wife how poor the woman's coverage was.

Have they offered her any help? Of course not. They want someone else to help her. And by force, if necessary.

Her daughter is married to some dude who runs a Wall Street hedge fund, and whose father pleaded guilty in 2002 to running a Ponzi scheme and swindling millions of dollars from his family and friends.

Nobody other than Democrat voters would believe that Hillary Rodham Clinton gives a flaming sh!t about "income inequality." She has been bought by Wall Street, and her daughter has married into its criminal elements.

Advisor quoted in the article: “The old rule of economic growth that when workers are more productive, companies reward them with wage increases no longer applies.”

Another advisor: “People have the correct feeling that the system is not fair. … Hillary will dispute the notion that the only thing we need to care about is getting the economy growing faster. It's not just that the pie gets bigger, but how that pie is shared.”

...the plan includes an increase in the minimum wage, a lowering of the debt burden on college students and new rules for corporate accountability.

I figured she would throw in amnesty for student loans. Can't take a country into full socialism without a cadre of useless college graduates on the government dole.

Electing Hillary Clinton president would be like granting Satan absolution and giving him the keys to heaven!
