Clinton also described her tax plan for wealthy Americans, explaining that her proposals to close the carried-interest loophole, stop certain tax breaks for hedge fund managers and cap tax deductions for the wealthy at 28 percent would help pay for some of the domestic programs she wants to improve. Those include early childhood education, paid family leave, and aid for college students.
"It is time that we begin to ask the wealthy to pay more. They have to pay their fair share," she said.
Her tone and knowledge of the issues earned praise from her audience, including Iowa City resident Cindy Robinson.

(7,865 posts)As long as we stick to the same contectual frame when discussing policy it doesn't matter who the president is. Even if Hillary is a born again economic progressive, whe have too many indicators that the Third Way wants to play at politics the same way.
Their bloody website even has a section where it critically compares "entitlements" to "investments in technology" as though money spent between these two axioms of the economy are the only two functions in a zero-sum game.
