Clinton blasts Trump on economy, tax, regulations

Hillary Clinton stopped giving paid speeches in 2015, after announcing her current run for the president.

Asked in a television interview in May what tax rate he pays, Trump replied “It’s none of your business”. The $4 billion figure though, based on Trump’s stated net worth of $10 billion, is a bit trickier since Trump could employ a number of tax avoidance mechanisms. “The more places you can make them play defense, the better off we are”. She added that he would “pay a lower rate than millions of middle class families”.

In a pre-emptive response issued via e-mail before Clinton’s speech, Trump’s campaign cited one analysis found that her tax plan would shrink the gross domestic product, costing jobs.

Clinton’s tech policy plan was generally well received in the tech industry.

Trump has claimed he does not want to release his income taxes while he is being audited by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Zandi was in fact one of McCain’s advisers – but he’s also a registered Democrat and a donor who has maxed out to Clinton’s campaign.

“We do know that the 400 richest taxpayers in America would get an average tax cut of more than $15 million a year from this loophole”, she said.

There’s evidence that Clinton’s attack on Trump’s record and media reports about his background have had some effect. Clinton resigned his position previous year.

Mrs Clinton’s return was filed jointly with her husband former President Bill Clinton. The chant is not ‘indict her, ‘ the chant is ‘lock her up.’ The chant says, we don’t care that Federal Bureau of Investigation agents and prosecutors have looked at Hillary Clinton’s State Department email arrangement and not been able to find a criminally prosecutable offense that they believe they could get a conviction on.

Trump’s childcare plan, Clinton said, would help rich people like him afford nannies while doing nothing for those at the bottom of the income scale.

Frustrated former Republican elected officials and party staffers are urging the Republican National Committee to stop supporting Donald Trump and instead focus all available resources on winning down-ballot races. Trump is proposing tariffs to penalize what he characterizes as unfair practices by some USA trade partners and taking actions to force US companies to keep their operations within the country’s borders. But she said bluntly Thursday that she will not waver on the current version of the deal. “I oppose it now, I’ll oppose it after the election and I’ll oppose it as president”.

They list Trump’s attacks on Gold Star families, his refusal to release his tax returns, his suggestions that “a hostile foreign government” intervene in the election – referring to Russian Federation – and his controversial comments about how Second Amendment supporters could stop Hillary Clinton from picking Supreme Court justices as examples of his missteps in the past month.

On a day in which Clinton was hoping to inflict considerable damage on Donald Trump – this time, by ripping into his economic agenda – her campaign was on the defensive, scurrying to clean up the latest damaging revelations in years-old messages that were sent by Clinton and her staff and released as the result of a lawsuit.
