Hillary Clinton Secrete Hacked Documents
2016ER ATTACKS
RUBIO ATTACKED CLINTON FOR
HAVING THE SUPPORT OF WALL STREET AND BIG DONORS
Rubio Called Hillary Clinton The
“Front-Runner For The Democratic Nomination” Who Would Have “The Support Of
Many On Wall Street, Many Of The Big Donors Around The Country.”
INSKEEP: “How strong a candidate do you think Hillary Clinton is...”
RUBIO: “Well, I...” INSKEEP: “...Assuming she runs?” RUBIO: “Yeah, so I would
say a couple things about it - first is, clearly she's a front-runner for the
Democratic nomination. I think she'd have the support of many on Wall Street,
many of the big donors around the country.” [Morning Edition, NPR, 7/22/14]
Rubio On
Hillary Clinton: “If She Runs For President, No Candidate In American History
Will Have More Support In The Boardrooms Than Hillary Clinton. That’s A Fact!” “And then putting on a little Elizabeth
Warren spin, Rubio went on a a [sic[BJ1] ]
bit of anti-Wall Street screed, saying that ‘If she runs for President, no
candidate in American history will have more support in the boardrooms than
Hillary Clinton. That’s a fact! And yet the average voter doesn’t believe
that.’” [Florida Politics, 12/6/14]
CLINTON DEFENSE
SECRETARY
CLINTON CRITICIZED REPUBLICANS FOR WEAKENING FINANCIAL REFORM
Secretary
Clinton On Republican Attempts To Weaken Dodd-Frank: “Attacking Financial
Reform Is Risky And Wrong.” “Hillary Clinton is defending the Dodd-Frank
Act as Republicans in Congress look for ways to water down the overhaul of
financial regulation and some fellow Democrats accuse her of being too cozy
with Wall Street. ‘Attacking financial reform is risky and wrong,’ Clinton, a
former U.S. Secretary of State who’s considering a White House run in 2016,
wrote Friday in a Twitter message. ‘Better for Congress to focus on jobs and
wages for middle class families.’” [Bloomberg, 1/16/15]
2008:
THEN-SENATOR CLINTON SIGNALED SHE WOULD BE OPEN TO RAISING THE CAPITAL GAINS
TAX RATE
New York
Times: In 2008, Then-Senator Clinton “Said She Would Not Raise The Capital
Gains Rate Above 20 Percent ‘If I Raised It At All.’” “If she runs for
president, it will be very interesting to see whether Mrs. Clinton takes a
position substantially to Barack Obama’s right on capital gains taxes, as she
did in 2008. In a debate in April of that year, Mrs. Clinton said she would not
raise the capital gains rate above 20 percent ‘if I raised it at all.’” [New
York Times, 3/13/15]

New
York Times: Due To The Affordable Care Act And The 2013 Fiscal Cliff Deal,
“The Top Tax Rate On Capital Gains Has Gone From 15 Percent In 2008 To 23.8
Percent Today, Higher Than The Red Line Mrs. Clinton Set.” “The Affordable
Care Act created an additional 3.8 percent tax on capital gains for high
earners, and the so-called fiscal cliff deal of 2013 added another 5 points to
the rate, so the top tax rate on capital gains has gone from 15 percent in 2008
to 23.8 percent today, higher than the red line Mrs. Clinton set. In his most
recent budget, Mr. Obama proposed to further increase the rate to 28 percent.”
