It does not help the vast majority of Americans, but it does really well for people already at the top. Well, we're going to turn that upside down. We're going to make the wealthy pay their fair share in taxes for a change.
I think there's a lot we could do that maybe would give a little more decision space to CEOs, to shareholders who want to hold for the long term, to investors who want to be part of the long term, that they would maybe have a little more room to withstand the pressure that is otherwise coming down on them.
I think if you had a capital-gains system where the long, patient capital would actually be rewarded, nanosecond capital turning would not be.
I think Americans have every reason to be worried about ISIS and the network of terrorist groups, because they have proven to be sophisticated and effective in wreaking violence and murder in many parts of the world, including in San Bernardino with their somehow connected radicalization of that couple there.
I think there were bad actors in the government and bad actors in the finance, mortgage, markets industries that need to be called out and held accountable.
Increasingly, we are seeing cyber attacks coming from states, organs of states. The most recent and troubling of these has been Russia.
I think we have to take a look at corporate law. We have to take a look at the incentives that we can perhaps use to encourage more longer term.
I want to - on behalf of myself, and I think on behalf of a majority of the American people, say that, you know, our word is good.
You don't insult American Muslims and religiously profile them the way that has been suggested by Ted Cruz.
I understand it. People are very willing to say things about me, to make accusations about me that are - I don't get upset about them anymore, but they are very regrettable.
I think it's important for people to say look, what does each party and each candidate have to offer for you. If you want a better future that is going to be reliant on making smart economic policies, compare my husband's eight years with Ronald Reagan's eight years. 23 million new jobs, more than seven million people lifted out of poverty.
I think we need to invest more in America.
I think people need to remember what the situation was when President [Barack] Obama came into office.
I did it as first lady, I did it as a senator, I did it as secretary of state, and I know how hard it is. It's not something you do once or twice and then throw your hands up because it is grinding work. But it is necessary work. So I am really welcoming of the opportunity to meet with not only people who agree with me but those who don't to see what we can do to try to bridge the differences.
