she is expected to embrace several principles. They include standard Democratic initiatives like raising the minimum wage, investing in infrastructure, closing corporate tax loopholes and cutting taxes for the middle class.

I am somehow reminded of Romney.

Other ideas are newer, such as providing incentives to corporations to increase profit-sharing with employees and changing labor laws to give workers more collective bargaining power.

This would be really interesting.

endorsed by Mrs. Clinton’s closest economic advisers and often referred to as inclusive capitalism, that contends that a majority of Americans do not want to punish the rich; they just want to feel that they, too, have a chance to succeed. It also calls for corporations to put less emphasis on short-term profits that increase shareholder value and to invest more in employees, the environment and communities.

Sounds awesome to me.

Whether Mrs. Clinton’s approach will be enough to satisfy the unease over growing economic disparity is unclear.

It won't, but an economy that is recovering and creating jobs is soon going to start running out of labor force, increase wages, will. Combine that with better policies that encourage companies to act in a "ford-like" manner, and law can increase the effect, just as it could decrease it.

But in the years since, Mrs. Clinton has come under criticism for delivering speeches to Wall Street banks at more than $200,000 each, roughly four times the median annual household income in the United States, and for comments she made about her family’s financial situation, including a lament about being “dead broke” after leaving the White House.

Boo fucking hoo.

“If Americans are working harder than ever, earning less than they once did, our government and our leaders should step up, offer a plan, fix what’s wrong,” former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida said in a speech in Detroit last week as he laid the groundwork for his potential 2016 candidacy.

Bush? Bush Bush? A third bush? As president?

2015: year of the American Dynasties.

Not necessarily a bad thing, but still, it scares me a tiny bit.

leaving her a committed advocate for early childhood education, equal pay for women and paid leave.

The government really can't do much about this, outside of encouraging free/subsidized daycare, perhaps, or forcing companies to not pay based on experience (a terrible idea). All that is going to happen is that they will talk about this new revolutionary bill that ends discrimination against pay and does nothing in reality.

The issue of pay for women comes down to women leaving the workforce. That's something government really can't tackle without WWII style propaganda, something that won't fly well today. That's up to culture to address and turn around, and even then it'll take a generation before it does, as the generations who got less experience die off and leave those who did to move pay to more equal levels as an average.

Overall an interesting read. I haven't really seen much about Clinton's positions, so it's good to see them. Still feels like a bunch of hollow promises and nothing-sayings while congress stalls everything out and nobody actually gets anything done.
