1. Stein has not explicitly mentioned strategies to keep companies in the U.S. but has said she wants to create a “Green New Deal.” 2. At an Aug. 8 speech in Detroit, Trump said “the rich will pay their fair share, but no one will pay so much that it destroys jobs, or undermines our ability to compete.” 3. Johnson wants to eliminate income taxes completely and replace them with “a single consumption tax that determines your tax burden by how much you spend, not how much you earn.” 4. Clinton has said she wants to go “beyond” Dodd-Frank. 5. Stein has called Dodd-Frank “gutless, toothless and useless.” 6. Johnson wants “zero corporate tax.” 7. Trump has flipped on this issue several times, but most recently he has opposed raising the minimum wage. 8. Johnson thinks the market will decide the wage. 9. Trump has not said he is “pro-union” outright, but he has said he is pro-worker. 10. Trump has said that if women do the same job, they should get the same pay. But has also said “it’s very hard to say what is the same job.”
