Clinton backs higher wages for Americans
Print Edition
Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton put the fight for higher wages for everyday Americans at the heart of her economic agenda yesterday in the first major policy speech of her White House bid.
Clinton said the US economy will only run at full steam when middle-class wages rise steadily along with executive salaries and company profits.
“I believe we have to build a growth and fairness economy. You can’t have one without the other,” she said at The New School university in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village, a bastion of liberal education.
Clinton laid out a vision of economic equality. “Corporate profits are at near-record highs and Americans are working as hard as ever but paychecks have barely budged in real terms. Families today are stretched in so many directions and so are their budgets,” Clinton said, promising to push for a broader reform of the US corporate tax code.
