"Don’t let anybody tell you that it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs," Clinton said during a Boston rally for Martha Coakley, who's running for Massachusetts governor. "You know that old theory — trickle-down economics. That has been tried, that has failed. It has failed rather spectacularly."
During her Friday address Clinton added a reference to her husband, former President Bill Clinton, and his perspective on the matter.
"You know, one of the things my husband says when people say, ‘Well, what did you bring to Washington?’ He said, ‘Well, I brought arithmetic.'”
