“Hillary Clinton is good for United States versus Donald Trump, who has no solutions”, Mateen said. “I’m hoping you’re going to hear a lot of “You’re hired” when I’m president because that’s what I want us to do together”, she said.
“It really is true that I feel a special bond with small businesses and that I want to be a small business president because of my dad’s experience”.
– Cut taxes and reduce red tape so that small businesses can grow and hire. The contrast she sought to draw could be summed up in her declaration that she wants to build highways, bridges, ports, airports, water systems, internet networks and other economic infrastructure, while “Donald wants to build a wall”. “Well, we’re going to turn that upside down. We’re going to make the wealthy pay their fair share in taxes, for a change”.
Clinton wrapped up by saying she knows Floridians have real concern about their economic futures. “Do you want somebody who flies off the handle, or do you want someone who is steady?”
“I saw a man who actually used to teach at my high school”, she said to the crowd. The Democratic nominee is basing her numbers on a report from Moody’s Analytics that calculates Trump’s policies would lose 3.5 million jobs and create a downtown that would last longer than the Great Recession, according to CNN Money.
