According to a recent speech she basically said free markets work best when they’re constrained by the right government policies. What do you think of the government policies she supports?
“I am not robbed by people who have more money than I. I am robbed by a government that wants to penalize my industry and give increasing portions of what I earn to people who do not emulate my principles, morals and ethics... We once taught our young people the virtues of hard work, saving, personal responsibility and accountability for one’s actions, chastity before and fidelity and commitment in marriage, honesty, integrity and virtue—not to mention the Ten Commandments (especially the one about not coveting that which belongs to your neighbor). We now teach them entitlement, victimhood, class envy and rights to other people’s money.” —Cal Thomas

She talks about things like "shared prosperity". I've heard some say Clinton’s economic plan is similar to Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s class-warfare proclamation
I personally disagree with Clinton and I just happened to love what Cal Thomas said so I included it.
Thanks :)

I'd say Clinton and most responsible people support policies which protect the health and safety of the general public by protecting the environment and holding manufacturers accountable for unsafe or unhealthy products and workplaces. We are for regulations that prevent fraud and criminal activity. We are also against discrimination and unfair labor practices.

There wouldn't be the need for govt regulation if busnisses did what was morally right and ethical. People will do anything to earn money and govt needs to be there to keep the private sector in check or we'll end up like Mexico or in another Great depression. Capitalism is the best system we have but is far from perfect.

Capitalism is the best economic system that exists, however once huge Corporations gain a monopoly and there is no competition, which is what drives Capitalism, it ceases to work. Good Government regulation is a necessity for successful Capitalism.

I'm more in agreement with Thomas than I am with Clinton. Besides, I'm not certain what she really believes, or if it's in sync with what's coming out of her mouth.

Markets constrained are not free, and by working 'best' she means producing the outcome that she, rather than the market, desires.

you say something about clinton in your question title, but then quote something by a guy named cal thomas.
i don't see a valid point in anything you have said here.
you just want to frighten people, which makes you a radical...

Hillary seems to hate truth.

Only she knows and I'll bet is afraid to tell the truth.
If she was a boat and I was on board, I'd be deathly seasick.
