Government Should Control Market
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton said that if she became president, the federal government would take a more active role in the economy to address what she called the excesses of the market and of the Bush administration.Is she taking lessons from Zimbob and OOgo? In one of her most extensive interviews about how she would approach the economy, Mrs. Clinton laid out a view of economic policy that differed in some ways from that of her husband, Bill Clinton. Mr. Clinton campaigned on his centrist views, and as president, he championed deficit reduction and trade agreements. Deficit reduction = higher taxes. Trade agreements = selling technology to the Chineese. Reflecting what her aides said were very different conditions today, Mrs. Clinton put her emphasis on issues like inequality and the role of institutions like government, rather than market forces, in addressing them. Economic Equality = Wealth Redristribution She said that economic excesses including executive-pay packages she characterized as often offensive and wrong and a tax code that had become so far out of whack in favoring the wealthy were holding down middle-class living standards. Yup, the Government should decide how much CEO's get paid. Tax the Rich to Feed the Poor, Till There Are No Rich No More. Making money is BAD!! Posted by: Deacon Blues 2008-01-21 |
