Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Tim Kaine outlined Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s five-point plan to increase the number of “family supporting jobs” during a visit on Friday, August 5, 2016 in front of a crowd of more than 250 supporters at the Lakefront Brewery on Commerce Street. Kaine said that if elected President, Hillary Clinton would make the biggest investment in jobs the U.S. has ever attempted. He criticized Clinton’s rival, Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump, as the “you’re fired” candidate, referring to the line Trump made famous on his reality television show, The Apprentice. Clinton’s five-point plan includes investing in infrastructure, and making it easier for unions to organize, making college education affordable, raising the minimum wage, and eliminating loopholes that allow the wealthy to avoid paying a proportional share of income taxes.
