Clinton Focuses on the Country's Widening Income Inequality

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has laid out what she called a new progressive plan to address growing income inequality in America.

In a speech today at the Manchester School of Technology, the New York senator chastised President George Bush and Republicans for saddling the country with debt and promoting tax policies that she said favor the wealthy few at the expense of everyone else. Afterwards, Clinton spoke with New Hampshire Public Radio’s Jon Greenberg.

Senator Clinton said the need for reform is as great as it was in the early 1900’s. But unlike that era, she says the public today should be suspicious of both big government AND big business.
