She also promised to create jobs across multiple industries support unions, small businesses and renewable energy, as well as raising taxes on wealthy individuals and corporations shipping jobs and operations overseas.

Donald Trump digs in as Hillary Clinton continues to go after Republican votes preparing for her major economic speech in Detroit Thursday.
Hillary Clinton’s big economics speech in Warren, Mich. today was a pretty standard address that veered between the campy clichés and intricate policy details that are hallmarks of your average Democratic platform. It was authored by several economists, but led by Mark Zandi.
There are more of these “old, exhausted ideas”: “Corporate tax rates must also be cut to increase incentives and the availability of investment capital”.
At a rally in Iowa on Wednesday, Clinton said the remark, which she called a “casual inciting of violence”, offered further proof that Trump does not have the temperament to be president.
The video lists some possible reasons for the delay, without offering proof, including that Trump may not have paid as much in tax or given away as much in charity as he has claimed.
The Clintons pulled in $10.6 million in 2015, much less than the almost $28 million they made the year before.
The idea is that pass-through businesses are what we actually think of when we picture small businesses: plumbers and electricians and shopkeepers and so forth. “So my message to every worker in MI and across America is this: I will stop any trade deal that kills jobs or holds down wages, including the Trans-Pacific Partnership”.
“I would be delighted to meet him any place, any time, between now and the election”, he said. “That would end up cutting off more jobs. the answer is to finally make trade work for us, not against us”, she continued, promising to “stop any trade deal that kills jobs or holds down wages including the TPP”. “In his speech Monday, he calls for a new tax loophole”, she said.
Clinton also took aim at a provision in Trump’s economic plan that repeals the estate tax, another measure she says would benefit his family personally. “He would pay a lower rate than millions of middle-class families”.
The differences between Clinton and Trump are stark and significant. The news outlet stated that her tax rate “reportedly is around 35 percent, while her charitable donations make up 10 percent”.
Trump’s 15 percent corporate income tax rate would jumpstart the most sluggish economic recovery since the Great Depression.
Trump has said he wants to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement, and that he is opposed to the Trans Pacific Partnership, a proposed 12-nation trade deal.
THE FACTS: The IRS periodically puts out data on the top 400 taxpayers. Clinton’s team deleted 30,000 emails that they had deemed personal, a number Trump invoked repeatedly. They say they remain singularly focused on the most efficient path to capturing the 270 electoral votes necessary to win the White House.

In his Detroit speech, Mr. Trump noted how liberal economic policies have failed that once-prosperous city. Similarly, many Republicans are now realizing that the best way to salvage their career, or in some cases in an effort to do what they genuinely believe is best for the country, have begun to distance themselves from Trump and even to endorse Clinton.
