“Now, there’s a myth out there that he will stick it to the rich and powerful because, somehow, he’s on the side of the little guy”, Clinton said of Trump before a crowd of supporters.

In a speech at a MI manufacturing plant on Thursday, the Democratic presidential nominee sought to draw a stark contrast between her plans for the economy, which she argued would benefit a broad range of Americans, and the Republican’s proposals, which she said are aimed only at helping people like him.
The Republican presidential nominee is straying from his signature bravado as he campaigns in the battleground state of Florida, even telling a gathering of evangelical ministers Thursday he’s “having a tremendous problem in Utah”.
That hope lies in Trump’s opposition to trade agreements, which many in the region blame for job losses. She slammed Trump’s plan, which she called “trickle-down economics” that would only help millionaires like Trump and his friends by cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthiest citizens.
The speech came after Trump unveiled his economic plan in Detroit on Monday, where he said he would reduce the tax brackets to three, cut the corporate tax rate to 15% and abolish the estate tax.
Trump said he had no intention of changing his inflammatory approach to presidential politics, pledging in a CNBC interview to “just keep doing the same thing I’m doing right now”.
Taxes. Much of her talk on taxes was an attack on Trump’s plan, although she did call for giving USA companies a tax credit to encourage profit sharing with employees (something he has not offered). She wants to win the White House and give Democrats back control of Congress. Donald Trump is imploding on a daily basis. “If you believe that he’s as wealthy as he says, that alone would save the Trump family $4 billion”, Clinton said. In his own speech Trump promised to bring back jobs to Americans, slash taxes, and drastically reconfigure worldwide free trade agreements. Clinton also set a goal of connecting every household in the country to broadband internet service by 2020, in what would be the end of her four-year term.
But she also sought to harness an optimistic spirit, in bright contrast to Trump’s doom-and-gloom assessments about the country’s current status on the globe. She concurred that some trade pacts had resulted in lost U.S.jobs. “I oppose it now, I’ll oppose it as president.”And Clinton acknowledged that her rebuke of the deal sounds pretty similar to Trump’s position-he opposes TPP, along with most modern trade deals, including NAFTA”.
Clinton has signaled her opposition to the US taking on more debt by pledging to “fully pay for these investments through business tax reform”, according to a fact sheet on her website.
The letter, obtained by Fox News, cites a litany of complaints ranging from his controversial comments on the trail to his suggestion he might balk on NATO treaty obligations to his refusal to release his tax returns.
She pledged to expand the tax credit for child care and limit those costs to 10 percent of family income.
That year, the Clintons donated $1,042,000 to charity, with the vast majority – $1 million – going to the Clinton Family Foundation. It is key to Trump’s chance of carrying MI in November.
