Hillary Clinton is offering unusual details on her plan to address inequality in the American economy. WNYC's Andrea Bernstein said that Clinton got plenty of applause during a speech at unusual York University Friday, when she spoke in support of raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour for snappily-food workers in unusual York."In crowds that came to see Hillary Clinton and in people just out on the street, when I asked them 'what are the important issues, and ' nearly everybody raised income inequality. So different from 2008. People were talking about the war in Iraq. They were just talking about the economy in general. The need for jobs," Bernstein said.
Clinton also said she wants higher taxes on short-term gains in corporate America. Her speech comes after a swing through South Carolina this week. To listen to a full interview with Bernstein, click the audio button.
