To begin, Hillary Clinton is calling for growth balanced by fairness, which sounds good verbally, but how odes it look on paper?

The Clinton campaign has raised $249.5 million, as opposed to Trumps's campaign fundraising of $8.9 million.

Of this, a little over one fifth was donated by private individuals, weighing in at $58.9m
$123.8m, comes from financial institutions, ideological parties, lobbyists, and miscellaneous businesses.
$30.7m comes from communications and tech, (emails lol)

Why have so many businesses decided to place their confidence in Clinton?
According to the campaign, it's based on four months of counseling she received from prominent businessmen and consultation with major economic moguls, before she even announced her candidacy. We're not really sure what that means, but yes, she's talked with the people who donated ad nauseum about their view of our country's economic future.

Clinton's tax/spending plan is projected to create a deficit of 746 billion every year, with projected revenues of $1.46 trillion, and spending of $2.21T, including $1T to be spent on college ($500b), paid family leave ($300b), and the early childhood initiative ($200b).

Corporate taxes cover $471b, leaving $1T to be paid for by the american people, and stil $746b unpaid for.
$217b goes to something she call the Repatriation of Overseas profits, or in otherwords, she intends to follow through with the very plan she reprimanded during the debate, but to a lesser extent.

That's right, even fewer corporate taxes than Donald Trump promised.

The securities and investment industry has paid in $47.5 million to her campaign, compared to the $346,000 donated to trump.

In short, Clinton's economic agenda is more in the traditional conservative vein of big business than any in history, and her corporate tax cuts are set to cost the American people $4,000,000,000,000 out of pocket over the course of her presidency, while creating an additional deficit of $3,000,000,000,000.

I'll also say that this issue of Fortune was jam packed with recognition and glorification of women in the business world, and it's one of the more left leaning financial journals, so these numbers might as well have come from NBC.

I've said it before and I'll say it again- our political lines are being redrawn.

What do you mean by that?

Why didn't you just post the damn article?  We aren't old men discussing the paper in the break room.

Because it's in print?

Do you people not read physical things?

If they don't have a scan or online alternative, then they are irrelevant.

I'm sure they do, but I get it in print.

If you wanna see it then google is your friend.
