Bernie wants Americans wages to go up while Hillary wants them to go down. (But doesn't like to admit it in public any more - This is a core part of WTO-GATS's global 'economic integration' strategy see http://www.ictsd.org/downloads/2008/06/gallagher.pdf http://siteresources.worldbank.org/INTRANETTRADE/Resources/C13.pdf pages 278-279 https://www.princeton.edu/~pcglobal/conferences/wtoreform/Betts_Nicolaides_memo.pdf https://www.etuc.org/documents/emergency-motion-tisa http://www.southcentre.int/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/AN_SV11_The-Development-Dimension-of-the-GATS-Domestic-Regulations_EN.pdf)

Bernie wants skilled people in other countries to make more, Hillary wants them to come here to replace Americans and get paid less

Hillary wants to reverse the economic gains of the latter part of the 20th century and encourage a race to the bottom, so the wealthy's slice of the pie can keep growing. See http://www.peri.umass.edu/fileadmin/pdf/financial/fin_dumenil.pdf "Costs and benefits of neoliberalism" by Gérard Duménil, Dominique Lévy also video interview here: http://therealnews.com/t2/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=31&Itemid=74&jumival=4962

Bernie would like the whole pie to keep growing but for the portion of the pie shared by all Americans to increase and the portion taken by the very rich to stop growing and start shrinking in relation to the whole (to make up for the last 30 years of losses, which will continue under Clinton see Corp Watch- What is neoliberalism - http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=376 )
.
Neither of them seem willing to admit that jobs as we know them are vanishing very quickly and will never return unless we invest a lot more in education. (result can be inferred from http://www.kurzweilai.net/the-law-of-accelerating-returns )

5. Everything i said is factual and easy to show. you're the one calling it a smear.

Hillary's position seems to me to basically be quite similar to that of Michael Moore, former WTO DG and former PM of New Zealand and more recently Ambassador of New Zealand to Washington until a few months ago when he had a stroke. He seems to be recovering well, has a web site and is a fairly personable fellow. Maybe somewhere in his writing he explains his view on why wages all need to come down before they can be built up again. I personally dont agree with it and think it would be a disaster for Americans.
