Hillary Clinton: Fighting for Americas Workers
This is the country where if you work hard, you can make it. And each generation is supposed to have it a little better than the one before. Hillary Clinton, 10/23/14
Opposing outsourcing. Hillary Clinton called for eliminating any tax break that promotes or rewards outsourcing, and she suggested a plan to close those loopholes in the U.S. tax code. She also proposed a new tax credit called the Insourcing Markets Tax Credit to boost investment in communities across America hurt by international trade and technology. Hillary voted in support of legislation that discouraged outsourcing in the private sector, and she also voted to restrict federal agencies from outsourcing work.
Giving workers family and sick leave. Hillary Clinton proposed a $1 billion per year innovation fund to encourage states to develop family leave and paid leave policies and repeatedly cosponsored legislation to provide seven paid sick days a year to American workers. President Obama called for similar actions in his 2015 State of the Union Address, noting that he would be taking new action to help states adopt paid leave laws of their own and calling on Congress to Send me a bill that gives every worker in America the opportunity to earn seven days of paid sick leave. Hillary also called for providing paid parental leave to all federal employees, an action President Obama has taken steps on with a recent Presidential Memorandum.
Spurring advanced manufacturing jobs. Hillary Clinton introduced bills to bring new manufacturing technology to small and medium-sized businesses. She called for doubling the funding for Manufacturing Extension Partnerships, public-private partnerships that help manufacturers, and proposed expanding them to focus on renewable energy. Hillary worked across the aisle to challenge the Bush Administrations cuts to these partnerships and she also cofounded the bipartisan Senate Manufacturing Caucus.
Standing against unfair Chinese trade practices. Hillary Clinton voted in support of authorizing action on Chinese imports if the Chinese government did not reform its currency practices. She also urged the U.S. International Trade Commission to crack down on Chinese metals sold in the U.S. at unfairly low prices, noting that if industrial companies do not receive appropriate relief from the impact of unfair foreign trade practices, the situations for these companies, and for working men and women, will only grow worse......more

Since they control how much they get paid in their own companies, it is now time for us to say that we need to fix that equation by taxing them more the way it worked before when they took much before FDR took over too.
