Speaking at a Labor Day rally in Hampton, Ill., today Hillary Clinton threatened to imprison employers for “wage theft.”

“We’re going to go back to enforcing labor laws,” Clinton said. “I’m going to make sure that some employers go to jail for wage theft and all the other abuses that they engage in.”

 “And we are going to make it harder and harder to stop what should be the right of every American: to join a union and bargain collectively through that union,” she continued. “But, I’ll tell you, we’ve got a fight on our hands.”

 The presumed 2016 Democratic candidate also endorsed President Obama’s executive order mandating government contractors provide employees “paid leave.”

 “I was very proud that President Obama said today he is going to require federal contractors to provide seven days of earned paid sick leave,” she said. “And he’s going to fight for paid family leave, something that I’ve been fighting for for 30 years and we’re going to get it done. It’s not right to treat working people as though they don’t have other responsibilities.”

She's been making such squawking noises for a couple of months now, in order to counter the challenge from her Left (Bernie!) which itself has arisen owing to a potential metastasis of any number of Hillary's (ahem) "legal" problems.

I'm so sick of this conniving witch!  Her ass is the one that should be in jail.  Why do I have the feeling that will never happen?

I have this overwhelming feeling that we're about to experience another watershed moment in our nation's history....along the lines of November, 1963.

They keep pushing and pushing.  Only a matter of time before somebody snaps.

God, I hope not... that is all we need is a martyr...

These things take time--she's a former First Lady, senator and cabinet member. But, voters and non-voters alike, will have their day.

I have thought from the day he was elected - that when they are through with him and he can do no more for them - they will use the ace up their sleeve - and guarantee another Democrat victory with his martyrdom.  They will tie it all up in one neat framed-up bundle too, if you know what I mean.

Jayzus!     Horrible to have to hear her say these things....well horrible to have to hear her vile crooked voice period! At this point I would be excited to just see her get pushed out of the race w/o jail time.

what should be the right of every American: to join a union and bargain collectively through that union,

Not just every American worker: every American.

That's right! Under Hillary's dictum, even those on welfare would be able to join the Public Assistance Recipients' Union and bargain for more food stamps, benefits and more.
