She?ll close loopholes that create a private tax system for the most fortunate, and she?ll ensure multi-million-dollar estates are paying their fair share of taxes. Read the fact sheet.
  2. Close corporate and Wall Street tax loopholes and invest in America. Hillary will close tax loopholes like inversions that reward companies for shifting profits and jobs overseas. She will charge an ?exit tax? for companies leaving the U.S. to settle up on their untaxed foreign earnings. She will close tax loopholes that let Wall Street money managers pay lower rates than some middle-class families. And she?ll reward businesses that invest in good-paying jobs here in the United States. Read the fact sheet.
  3. Simplify and cut taxes for small businesses so they can hire and grow. The smallest businesses, with one to five employees, spend 150 hours and $1,100 per employee on federal tax compliance. That?s more than 20 times higher than the average for far larger firms. We?ve got to fix that.
  4. Provide tax relief to working families from the rising costs they face. For too many years, middle-class families have been squeezed by rising costs for everything from child care to health care to affording college. Hillary will offer relief from these rising costs, including tax relief for Americans facing excessive out-of-pocket health care costs and for those caring for an ill or elderly family member.
  5. Pay for ambitious investments in a fiscally responsible way. Hillary believes that we can afford to pay for ambitious, progressive investments in good-paying jobs, debt-free college, and other measures to strengthen growth, broaden opportunity, and reduce inequality. Hillary will use the proceeds from ensuring the wealthiest and the largest corporations pay their fair share to pay for these investments without adding to the debt.

If she does this, the donors will stop giving money to Democrats.

Keep believing it though and wonder why it's never happened before.

Over the last 20-30 years, the US like Europe has hemorrhaged jobs on a scale that's made most working classes and lower middle classes poorer. While allowing in millions of foreign working class.



That's your money going to the Third World. Who has grown richer from the exodus of jobs and money? No one here, you've grown poorer. How many of those countries with booming economies provide you with significant sales?

Hillary is part of the system that enables the loss of jobs and growth from the West and most certainly in favor of allowing more low-skilled workers into the West.

Will she penalise the people she needs to win in 2020? If you believe that, you're stupid.
