This is a great applause line, but what is she proposing to do about it?

I think, in large part, she is just demonizing hedge funds, which are nothing more than venture capital firms. If they choose and invest wisely -- they make money, if they invest poorly -- they lose money. If they invest very wisely -- they make a ton of money and the companies they invest in have capital to expand and create new products and markets.

80% of ALL hedge funds go broke in their first year.

Is she just capitalizing on the bad reputation of hedge funds and the fact that most people have no idea what they really are?

Disingenuous at best, pandering at worst.

UNLESS ... she is suggesting a pay raise for kindergarten (and all other) teachers. That's an idea I can get firmly behind!!!
