Taking a page out of her party’s anti-business playbook, Democrat presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton wasted little time between announcing her candidacy and attacking the earning power of private sector employees.

She delivered an early campaign speech this week in which she lamented the fact that “the average CEO makes about 300 times what the average worker makes.”

Without taking into account the disparate qualifications between an executive and an entry-level worker or the time many CEOs spend working their way up to a lucrative position, Clinton’s rhetoric nonetheless struck a chord with the far-left wing of the Democrat Party.

One supporter, Jared Milrad, expressed his pleasure in seeing Clinton address income disparity, saying that it proves she “has been listening” to the more vocal leftists in the party.

“I definitely see the push from the left wing,” he asserted, “which I think is great.”

Despite her comments’ populist appeal, however, many would-be supporters are reserving comment until they see some substantive proof that she is willing to back up her words with action.

Union boss Leo Gerard, for example, said he is unwilling to make a decision based on what he has seen so far.

“I think it’s too early to make any judgments on what I would call the very short opening statement,” he said, “and we’ll see what happens as we go forward.”

As Reuters reporters pointed out, Clinton’s criticism of high-earning executives could have a significant downside. Reliant on wealthy donors to propel her campaign toward next November’s election, some forecast her remarks could turn off potential financial supporters.
