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

14. The fact is, that it is very good rhetoric and I agree with everything stated

I applaud the sentiment but find it hard to believe that anything will come of it beside perhaps some "calls" to raise the tax rate a few % on high earners without ever addressing the capital gains tax issues at the heart of much of this. At least not from a Rubin/Summers economics proponent,

I also see no ideas addressing her "concern" regarding the 300:1 earnings ratio - I guess (insert your plan to address this issue here) is my most appropriate response regarding that bit of rhetoric.

Good rhetoric, absolutely no substance.
I agree with the message, a good campaign strategy IMO to mirror rhetoric made popular by Elizabeth Warren.

If she means any of it I expect to see ideas on how she would go about making the big earners pay big taxes relative to the middle class earners she referenced as well as a plan to regulate or propose some other solution that would achieve a fairer CEO to typical worker ratio.

I hope to some day (and I know this is crazy dirty hippy talk) also, just once, hear her acknowledge, even in passing, that there is a huge bunch of poor people out here, a demographic growing rapidly, that are below the middle class.

Maybe even (dare I beseech the Goddess) propose plans to help the majority of us poor, disabled, and working impoverished as well as the middle and up (if you would please Hill)
