Donate to her campaign?

The Third Way philosophy is the basis for this sort of action, so it is rich that she runs an ad against it.

No, they are not tax policy, but, by allowing companies to shut down US manufacturing and sending job overseas, then allowing those formerly USA made products back into the USA with little or no duty, caused a buildup of foreign reserves by formerly US-based companies.

While some of this reverse merger action is to reduce tax rates, a large part of it also allows companies access to the cash they have been stowing away overseas for decades. They want or need access to that cash. So it is a two fold situation in that they enjoy lower tax rates and can tap into their foreign money.

So yes, the Third way policies are responsible for this bullshit. And Hillary knows it.

Sure would like to see her position and aggressive leadership on TPP. She'll probably get around to that right after going through all those Goldman transcripts.
