Hillary Clinton's economic pitch: Americans 'need a raise'

Video snips at the link.

Highlights from the article:

The Democratic front-runner lambasted a marketplace she said is too obsessed with second-to-second stock trading and quarterly earnings reports

Clinton even took a veiled shot at President Barack Obama's administration for failing to prosecute individuals for banking crimes in the wake of the 2008 economic downturn.

She accused hedge funds and high-frequency traders of "criminal behavior," and promised to "prosecute individuals as well as firms" when they break the law

"'Too big to fail' is still too big a problem," Clinton said.

She laced the speech with assaults on three leading GOP presidential candidates: Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush for his comment that some Americans should work more hours; Florida Sen. Marco Rubio for a tax plan she said would benefit only the wealthy; and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker for battling with labor unions.

1. This is the Hillary Clinton we need. She will lead by her own

..vision of what this Nation needs to rebuild. Human Rights & Equality and balance across the board.
I am so proud of her for standing up for her own principles and to those who have always held power over her & the citizens of her America.
She stands before us all no longer having to play the boys club game to break that ceiling.
She made it. And America will be a far better place when equal & human rights are the base of her policies.
Thank You Hillary.
Madam President 2016
