Kaine: Unlike Trump, Hillary ‘Has a Passion’ for ‘Serving Others’

‘Donald Trump always puts himself first’

KAINE: "There's a fundamental choice for the American electorate. Do you want a 'you're hired' president in Hillary Clinton or do you want a "you're fired" president in Donald Trump? I think that's not such a hard choice. Hillary and I have a plan that's on the table that's a "you're hired" plan. Five components. First thing we do is we invest in manufacturing, infrastructure, and research in the clean energy jobs of tomorrow. Second thing is we invest in our workforce, from pre-K education to great teachers to debt-free college and tuition-free college for families that make less than $125,000 a year. Third, we promote fairness by raising the minimum wage, so you can't work full-time and be under the poverty level, and by paying women equal pay for equal work. Fourth, we promote small business growth, just as we've done in Virginia, to make it easier to start and grow small businesses. Hillary and I each grew up in small-business families. My dad, who ran an iron working and welding shop, is here tonight. And, fifth, we have a tax plan that targets tax relief to middle- class individuals and small businesses and asks those at the very top who've benefited as we've come out of recession to pay more."
