Michigan has had its economic woes.
But, instead of talking about them and new policy proposals, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, who is looking to pick up President Barack Obama’s mantel, Thursday attacked her Republican opponent Donald Trump. Michigan voted President Barack Obama into office in 2012.
Trump recently released a new economic plan that would offer a tax break for Americans, simplify the tax code, halve the number of income tax brackets and eliminate mandatory taxes for the poorest Americans.
Clinton, in her speech, said, “Here are four questions that the American people should ask of both candidates — and our answers should make your choice in November crystal clear. First, which candidate has a real plan to create good-paying jobs? Second, who will restore fairness to our economy and ensure that those at the top pay their fair share? Third, who will really go to bat for working families? And, fourth, who can bring people together and deliver results that will make a difference in your lives?”
With economic numbers improving but many Americans not feeling the boost, the economy has become a hot topic in the 2016 race. Clinton has looked to counter Trump’s populist message with pledges to boost the middle class, small businesses, and American manufacturers.
Clinton continued to brand herself as the “candidate who will stand up for working families and the middle class.” She added, Trump will create policies that “only benefits millionaires like himself.”
