In Warren, Clinton Lays Out the Clear Economic Choice In This Election
Clinton Calls Trump's Plan Unacceptable to Working Families and a Win for the Wealthy
In a major speech in Warren, Michigan on Thursday, Hillary Clinton highlighted her jobs and economic plan designed to build an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top. She cast Donald Trump's economic plan as unacceptable to working families -- he proposes regurgitated Republican trickle-down economics that overwhelmingly benefits his wealthy friends, his businesses and his family, an agenda that dovetails with his record of stiffing small businesses that did work for him.
Some parts of Trump's economic plan are even worse than typical trickle-down economics, Clinton said. The plan is so beneficial to the wealthy that it includes what Clinton called a "Trump Loophole" that would allow businesses like Trump's to pay less than half the current tax rate, Clinton said. She added, "One nonpartisan expert at the Tax Policy Center described this plan as, and I quote, 'a really nice deal' for Donald Trump. Of course, its hard to say how nice, because he refuses to do what every other Presidential candidate in decades has done and release his tax returns."
Clinton criticized the Trump's reckless approach -- despite the recent water crisis in Flint, Michigan -- to regulation, his pessimistic vision of the United States' future and the trillions in debt his plans would add.
