1. Start the countdown ...... NOW!

[roguevalley]

7. reform capital gains... yeah, because so many of us benefit from it. not

in her announcement to run, she said she would 'incentivize' business then we would all make profits.

PROFITS FOR YOU!

PROFITS FOR YOU!

AND PROFITS FOR YOU!

I think that's called bush tax cuts. Yes, that worked so well then.

[George II]

29. You'd be surprised at the number of middle-class Americans pay capital gains taxes.

[whatchamacallit]

31. Yes I would be. Have any data? n/t

[PoliticAverse]

2. What's the plan to encourage companies to share profits with their employees? n/t

[Enrique]

4. tell them

hey corporations, if you feel like sharing your profits, go for it!

[zappaman]

36. That could work.

Maybe follow up with a strongly worded letter.

[jwirr]

14. Tax credits to companies that train and hire workers. Sounds just exactly like CETA in the 70-80s.

It ended up being a subsidy for the companies and only helped the worker as long as they were eligible for the credit. Then the company found a way to get rid of the worker and hired a new one with another credit.

[winter is coming]

15. Same old same old: loaves for them, crumbs for us. n/t

[NorthCarolina]

3. What did she state as the

minimum wage she would fight for? I know Bernie has stated a $15/hr minimum wage is what he would fight for.

[Sherman A1]

5. Sounds good to me

but, the devil is in the details.

[99Forever]

6. Ewwwwwwwww....

... fancy internet graphics...

I'll bet my next paycheck is gonna be freakin' HUGE!


Woo Hooooooo!

[ibegurpard]

8. Not a single concrete specific in that mush.

But reinstating Glass-Steagall is off the table...

[hrmjustin]

12. Not my alert but the jury didn't think so.

[Bobbie Jo]

26. Troll said what?

With several in agreement, no less.

No surprises here....

[Electric Monk]

16. Looks like they got PPRd / MIRTed, but I'm glad I saw it before they were.

I saved a copy to my HD as well, and just in time, it seems.

If someone wants a good laugh, and has a sense of humor about the primaries so far, they can PM me and I'll PM it back to them.

[Electric Monk]

18. If I PM it to you, would you post it again? I'd rather not risk another hide. nt

[1000words]

19. Well ... looky here:

[840high]

20. Snort - heehee

[kath]

13. OMG - you win the thread!

[gobears10]

10. no single-payer healthcare or Glass-Steagall...

can't support Hillary, sorry. Bernie 2016!

[PoliticAverse]

21. She was, of course for the health care mandate in 2008, she seems to be maintaining

her position on that. As to Glass-Steagall (Bill Clinton signed the bill that repealed it):

(From: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251442308 )

Alan Blinder, a former Federal Reserve official now advising the Clinton campaign, told Reuters Monday that she has no plans to push for the return of a banking law that separates commercial and investment banks.
...
'You’re not going to see Glass-Steagall,' he said, adding that he had spoken directly to Clinton about the issue

[George II]

22. I don't think I've seen as comprehensive a plan laid out like this from ANY candidate...

...in ANY Presidential campaign (and I've seen a bunch of them!)

Excellent.

[NorthCarolina]

23. Are you being serious,

or facetious?

[frylock]

30. Well, it's long with a fairly large-point font.

24. Hillary Clinton putting on a Bernie Sanders act?

Hi all,

This is my first post on DU. After lurking for a week or so I see some pretty severe polarization of opinion in this forum, but I am still forming my own. I found it curious that HRC got so little real-time coverage of her speech on MSM, and how little the network pundits commented on the degree to which it paralleled the positions of Sen. Sanders (albeit without his passion).

I'm reading, listening, watching, and considering ALL points of view about our critically important choices for 2016, and I'd like to read what others here think about the following punditry:

Thanks for not stomping the newbie, but please do tell me what you really think.

25. Starting at DU by promoting a Fox News hit piece is not a good start. nt

[kenn3d]

37. I certainly was not, and am not promoting Fox News...

...or any other specific source or point of view.
I am simply an independent American voter who will be voting in the Democratic primary in 2016, trying to educate myself and finding many disconcerting opinions about the candidates from widely opposed sources, such as this piece from MSNBC today:
http://www.msnbc.com/the-cycle/watch/hillary-clinton-said-what--484198467702

And CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, NPR, BBC, are all "contributing" to my growing doubts about HRC.
I'm also seeing a great many specifically "liberal", "progressive", and "Democratic" opinions and comments posted across diverse social media and web-based sources (including here on DU), which seem to indicate a broad-based disenchantment within the party regarding its most likely standard bearer. Considering her lead in the polls and astoni$hing contributions, I'm surprised to see so many posts in opposition to her candidacy and I'm just trying to understand this.

Despite their vast field of candidates I find no one to choose amongst the Republicans... so I want to be sure the Democratic ballot does offer a choice.

[beam me up scottie]

38. Welcome to DU, kenn3d!

Buckle up, the primaries are just getting started.

I wish people would spend their time stomping Republicans instead of new posters.

[jeepers]

28. I have been wondering

When the GOP, Fox and their wall street allies were going to realize that Bernie is their worst nightmare. The corporate class will do very well under Hillary but should Bernie win the election the movement to reign in corporate greed could would and should
explode.

You got a good clip here Kenn a little embarrassing for Hillary perhaps but very telling that wall street biggies think what Hillary says is just vote gathering rhetoric.

[fredamae]

27. Does this 2013 announcement still apply?

32. Did you actually paste Beatles portraits into the Hillary logo?!?

Don't know about George, but I bet John is rolling in his grave.

33. Here is Lennon with Hillary's successor.

[img][/img]

It would have been interesting to see how he developed further in his return to public life, but he was shot in the back five times with a legally obtained handgun.

[whatchamacallit]

34. Your mashup, co-opting personas for Hillary

Incredibly silly, presumptuous, or disrespectful?
