I like Gary’s framing but defer to comms and speechwriting on the issue. We can also use somewhat different rhetoric depending on the audience — and deploy Gary’s framing more when talking to wonky reporters, etc., who I think will buy much more into that approach. Two suggestions in the attached. --On exec authority, I’ve added — "in fact, I’ll do so by [DEL: using] [ADD: asking my Treasury Department to use its] regulatory authority if Congress doesn’t act.” This is my trying to give us some cover when charged with acting unlawfully/imperial presidency/etc. Think we’re trying to use that phrasing in the written material, at least. —Also would suggest getting a hit in on the Republicans, especially since the exec authority part will be seen as a knock on Obama. Added the following line: "Republicans in Congress should stop standing in the way of closing these loopholes and investing here in America.” But, completely defer to you guys on whether to use. > On Dec 8, 2015, at 8:33 PM, Brian Fallon <bfallon@hillaryclinton.com> wrote: > > I made changes to one bullet atop Mike's.

Companies aren't people (even if courts see it that way). It will strike many in business community as silly. I would say 'it's about fairness'. And also about paying all taxes due. Also about leveling with small business. > > Just a thought > > Sent from my iPhone > > On Dec 8, 2015, at 7:55 PM, Megan Rooney <mrooney@hillaryclinton.com <mailto:mrooney@hillaryclinton.com>> wrote: > >> + Gary >> >> ---------- Forwarded message ---------- >> From: Michael Shapiro <mshapiro@hillaryclinton.com <mailto:mshapiro@hillaryclinton.com>> >> Date: Tue, Dec 8, 2015 at 7:49 PM >> Subject: Re: DRAFT + FOR THE BOOK: Iowa town halls (manufacturing and inversions) >> To: Megan Rooney <mrooney@hillaryclinton.com <mailto:mrooney@hillaryclinton.com>>, David Kamin <davidckamin@gmail.com <mailto:davidckamin@gmail.com>> >> Cc: Speech Drafts <speechdrafts@hillaryclinton.com <mailto:speechdrafts@hillaryclinton.com>>, Speech Book <speechbook@hillaryclinton.com <mailto:speechbook@hillaryclinton.com>> >> >> >> +Kamin >> >> On Tue, Dec 8, 2015 at 7:47 PM, Megan Rooney <mrooney@hillaryclinton.com <mailto:mrooney@hillaryclinton.com>> wrote: >> Hey everyone -- >> >> These remarks look very similar to what she has today in New Hampshire.
