Hillary Clinton surprises with early attack on CEO pay
(Reuters) - Hillary Clinton, under pressure from the left wing of her Democratic Party to aggressively campaign against income inequality, voiced concern about the hefty paychecks of some corporate executives in an email to supporters.
Striking a populist note, Clinton, who announced on Sunday she was running for president in 2016, said American families were still facing financial hardship at a time "when the average CEO makes about 300 times what the average worker makes."
In a tightly scripted campaign launch in which there were few surprises, the comments were unexpected, at least by progressives, who saw them as an early sign she may shift away from the centrist economic policies pursued by her husband, former President Bill Clinton.
In the social media blitz that kicked off her campaign, Clinton, the prohibitive frontrunner to become the Democratic nominee, expressed concerns about economic inequality.

I think this could get pretty entertaining, as we go along.
I mean I hope she starts wearing Che t-shirts, but I expect it will be less clear cut.
But I do expect she will rip the Republicans a new one.
