Showing Original Post only (View all)Apparently Clintons remarks did not win over any Sanders supporters last night.... [View all]
"Clinton's attempts to reach out to Sanders supporters in the crowd of 2,200 drew some to their feet to hold up pro-Sanders signs in silent protest, while others were more vocal in their disapproval. Sanders and O'Malley have a lot of good ideas and we share a lot of the same values, she said, drawing scattered laughs and no! shouts from Sanders supporters.
Some booed when Clinton said shes the only candidate in the race whos pledged to raise middle-class incomes, not middle-class taxes. Sanders supports the FAMILY Act, which would increase payroll taxes by 0.2 percent, working out to $1.38 a week for the median worker. He argues that its a small price to pay for the expansion of paid family and medical leave benefits that's part of the bill while Clinton says she will pay for the same programs with increased effective tax rates on the wealthy and corporations."
