    Hillary likes to talk about how tough she will be on Wall Street, but in case anybody hasn't noticed, she has no plan to go after corporate tax changes. She talks about how she will punish corporate inversions, but that is it. She fully plans to go after estates and individuals and has proposals for that, but when it comes to Wall Street, crickets.

    So is this because she does not want to drop the hammer until after they donate to her; or is it because she is just the Wall Street Chia Pet?

    Why would anybody trust a woman who has so many detailed ideas about punishing individuals but cannot even articulate anything concrete when it comes to the corporations who pay her a lot of money, to whom her private speeches are kept hidden from the public, and for whom she has worked her entire career?

    That is pretty common knowledge.

    It is the biggest factor in her almost losing the nomination.

    Well we are all impressed that Trump is going to go after Amazon for being a monopoly. Surprised that he hasn't noticed that the IRS is a monopoly and declared he is going to make them diversify.

    Sure she will, the Washington style....she will pay lip service to the issue, she will pass laws with loopholes that will let you move 10 million jobs to Jupiter (corporate lobbyists and lawyers will write these laws to make sure), she might even levy $100 mln fine on a multinational company which has stolen $1 billion. Basically she will work hard to put lipstick on a pig and placate the voters while letting her donors get away with murder. Par for the course in Washington.

    Congress is the only one that can really address it, neither Trump nor Clinton can give it more then lip service

    republicans Control Congress, ask them when they plan to address it

    sure, Presidents sign bills into law, Congress creates the bills for Presidents to sign

    really what a candidate is saying is that if a bill comes to me on this issue, I will sign it

    That hardly reconciles your first claim "Hillary as president will address outsourcing" with your next claim "President can't do sh*t about it"... But thanks anyway. :)

    PS the idea that Presidents have no real power and just sign bills is ludicrous. Obama passed his Obamacare with the republican-controlled congress when he really wanted to.

    all they can do is make it known that they will sign a bill if it comes to them, that is the only way they can address it before and after elected

    So Hillary can't address the outsourcing issue if elected then, your previous claims that she could notwithstanding, right?

    You told me she will sign it if someone else writes it and puts it on her desk which you claim is not expected in the republican-controlled congress LOL. You are trying to have it both ways and you know that.

    Trump on the other hand will proactively lobby, negotiate, lean on the right people, make deals and compromises and will get the anti-outsourcing legislature written, passed and implemented. That's his campaign promise, while Hillary's is business as usual.

    She'll most likely go after Wall Street the say way her corporate stooge, Obama did; Big announcements, massive fines....which they settle for pennies on the dollar, if even that. She's a 100% corporate puppet.

    obviously by your post, I see you do not understand the system....


    - - - Updated - - -

    yes, that is how bills work, congress creates them and passes them off for the President to sign into law

    yes, Trump can ask Congress to write the bills too and sure he will

    I have said many times that Trump will do a better job of shaming republicans in Congress publicly day in and day out into actually working again

    I don't need a theoretical lecture on how Washington process works, we all know that. Your "Hillary will address it", "she can only pay lip service because Congress has to address it" but "Hillary will address it" statements made within a 10 minute timeframe are funny though.

    At any rate, Trump has infinitely higher chances to get it done than Hillary.

    as I said,

    I have said many times that Trump will do a better job of shaming republicans in Congress publicly day in and day out into actually working again

    so with that we agree
