Hillary Clinton Blasts Pay For CEOs, Hedge Fund Managers In Campaign Kickoff


Igor Bobic



WASHINGTON -- In her first campaign event Tuesday as a presidential candidate in the early caucus state of Iowa, Hillary Clinton blasted a system that puts the nation's top earners ahead of the middle class, lamenting that the "deck is still stacked in favor of those already at the top."

"There’s something wrong when CEOs make 300 times more than the typical worker. There’s something wrong when American workers keep getting more productive, as they have, and as I just saw a few minutes ago is very possible because of education and skills training, but that productivity is not matched in their paychecks," the former secretary of state said at a round-table at Kirkwood Community College in Monticello, Iowa.

Rhetoric is still Rhetoric until something get's done and the friends that she keeps is counter to this rhetoric.
