WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton plans to make boosting middle
class income and wages the focus of her economic agenda. The Democratic
presidential candidate will point to stagnant paychecks as the central
challenge facing the U.S. economy.
Clinton will lay out the themes of her economic plan in a speech Monday in New York. Clinton’s campaign says in a preview on Saturday that the speech will emphasize the need for the real incomes of everyday Americans to rise steadily along with corporate profits and executive compensation.
While Republican candidate Jeb Bush has called for an annual growth rate of 4 percent, Clinton will say that the nation’s economy should not be judged by a specific growth figure but rather by how much income rises for middle-class households.

Well… I can’t see how this will not resonate in a positive way-- It sure affects my situation –
I love the way her speech was planned to step on Scott Walker’s announcement of his candidacy (ho fucking hum.)
She did the same to Perry and to Jeb! when they announced.
Her campaign has been very effective at trolling the Republicans.
Apparently, she’s going to lay out the broad parameters of her economic agenda Monday, and then flesh out specific parts of the plan over the next several weeks.
She’s finally getting good campaign advice, and she’s paying attention to it.
Oh, the “keep em poor” faction is not gonna like that.
Jeb no-last-name wants me to work more hours. Scott Walker wants me to work 7 days a week. Hillary wants to raise my wages. Think I’ll vote republican. Seriously how can anyone vote republican unless you’re independently wealthy or painfully stupid? Oops, answered my own question.
So far Hillary’s plan sounds a lot like Bill’s lifting the whole boat strategy. Love it.
