Likely Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has sought to stave off a challenge from a self-described socialist by seeking to put a human face on the left?s preferred totalitarianism. When she outlines her economic philosophy this week, the former secretary of state will reportedly take dead aim at these and other innovations; and all in the name of ?progress.?
?Clinton?s aide said she will discuss some of the structural forces conspiring against sustainable wage growth, such as globalization, automation, and even consumer-friendly ?sharing economy? firms like Uber and Airbnb that are creating new relationships between management and labor (and which now employ many Obama administration alumni),? Politico reported. ?But she will argue that policy choices have contributed to the problem, and that she can fix it.?
?She will propose to expand on Obama?s high-income tax hikes, while also pushing measures to fight wage theft, raise the minimum wage, encourage profit-sharing for workers, and support collective bargaining by unions,? the report added.
