OMAHA, Nebraska-- Standing alongside billionaire Warren Buffett at the Sokol Auditorium in his hometown, Clinton signaled Wednesday that she is prepared to raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans.

"Right now, there has been too much that has led to the wealthy getting wealthier at the expense of hardworking families," Clinton said. "That's not the way we're going to keep America going and growing."

Specifically, Clinton said that her tax plan, which she is set to roll out in the new year, would build on the Buffett rule, the plan named for Buffett and proposed by President Barack Obama that would require those who earn $1 million a year pay an effective tax rate of at least 30 percent.

"I'm going to fight hard to implement the Buffett rule," she said. "I want to go even further."

Clinton has laid out a slate of policy proposals, like her plan for a national infrastructure bank, that would require significant new spending and, at the same time, Clinton has pledged not to raise taxes on any American who earns less than $250,000 a year. It's a promise that she says she is the only Democratic candidate to make.

Clinton's appearance with Buffett, who also attended a fundraiser for the candidate on Wednesday, comes less than two months before the first votes of the election will be cast next door in Iowa.

In his introduction, Warren cited Internal Revenue Service statistics that show that the incomes of the wealthiest Americans increased sevenfold between 1992 and 2012.

"The game has been stacked in their direction," he said, borrowing a metaphor that Clinton often uses on the campaign trail. "That's a primary reason...why I'm going to be so delighted when Secretary Clinton takes the Oval Office."

Buffett joked that Nebraska wouldn't be in "play" in 2016 -- it's a reliably Republican state that hasn't voted for the Democratic presidential candidate since 1964. But Buffett said it was "really important" that Nebraskans in the audience reach out to their neighbors and relatives about voting.

"Get them to the polls on Election Day," he said.

Nebraska won't hold its Democratic caucus until March 5, but there's still a good reason to campaign there now -- which former Sen. Bob Kerrey pointed out in a Bloomberg Politics article. "The Omaha media market is one third of Iowa," said Kerrey.

opinion By Sir Andy Chande

For the first time it is difficult, if not impossible, to predict the outcome of the next US presidential election. With much uncertainty and with too many Republican candidates, one could meet with surprises. Having said this I can share with the readers my thoughts on this important and topical subject.

Firstly, the latest poll among likely Republican primary voters shows Donald Trump leading with 27 per cent support, Marco Rubio at around 18 percent, and Ben Carson and ted Cruz tied at 16 percent each. Even though some other recent polls have put Cruz ahead of Rubio, mainstream media opinion seems to be coalescing around Rubio - if only to stop Cruz, who (as an evangelical Christian) has strong appeal to the party's 'base' but none to the New York crowd.

It is, however, important not to ignore Jeb Bush (who still has pots of money) and Chris Christie (who seems to be making a modest comeback, particularly in New Hampshire). Whatever the case, Trump's lead still seems pretty solid - no matter what he says, what he does, or whom he offends.

There is certainly a compelling case to be made for a Democratic victory. They have won the White House in five of the past seven elections; and carried the popular vote in five of the past six. Control of California with its 55 electoral votes give the Democrats a head start in the Electoral College, where 270 votes are needed for victory. And then there are the upsides of the Hillary Clinton phenomenon: name recognition; a huge funding network; no serious primary challengers; popular former President as her husband; a fractious Republican field; and the chance for another historic first, the election of America's first female President.

She may be old news but she still has fire in her belly. Issues such as Benghazi and the use of private email account whilst she held public office are not likely to present any problem nor how she performed as Obama's Secretary of State.

It has not been easy in the post-Second World War Presidency for the two term incumbent to pass on to his Party control of the White House. Franklin Roosevelt, of course, succeeded himself three times; and dying in office, was succeeded by his Vice-President Harry Truman. But since the Constitution was amended to restrict a president to two terms, only once has a two-term President managed to transfer White House control to a fellow Party member. George HW Bush succeeded Reagan and was ousted after a single term.

In 2012, Mitt Romney won 59 per cent of the white vote. He won every significant white sub-group - men and women; young and old; Protestant and Catholic - and yet still lost the election.

Obama won because he was able to capture the support of African-Americans, Hispanics and Asians and four out of every 10 white voters. The traditional pool from which Republicans draw their support - older whites, blue-collar whites, married couples and rural residents - is declining.

At the end of the day state of the economy and Obama's approval rating at the end of his term will both significantly matter.

Obama's approval rating last month was 48 per cent. His help with African-Americans, Hispanics and young voters will be needed by Hillary Clinton and will no doubt be forthcoming.

To sum up, uncertainty about the outcome in 2016 abounds. Unless the Republicans can find a candidate who has the ability to transform and who can broaden the GOP's appeal, Americans will have the first female President.

Kayla Helmers, a Hillary Clinton campaign volunteer, and her mom, Lynel, attended a Clinton town hall Wednesday night in their hometown of Mason City, Iowa. But, Kayla's dad Shawn Starry did not attend the event with his family because, according to his daughter, "he's a huge Donald Trump fan." That's why Helmers devised a plan to try and convince her dad to vote for the former secretary of state.

"My dad is a Donald Trump supporter. Can you give him a message?" Helmers asked Hillary Clinton on the ropeline after Clinton's event had concluded. The Democratic frontrunner laughed and then asked for her father's name.

Hi Shawn, Im here with your daughter and I hope you can see I dont have horns," Clinton said to the cellphone camera. "I really do hope that, as this election goes on, youll listen to your daughter. Thanks, bye.

Helmers immediately texted the video to her dad, who she said was slow to respond, but would be very surprised by the personalized recording.

At a campaign event in Omaha, Nebraska, earlier in the day, Clinton first made the "horns" joke in reference to her likability, urging the crowd to talk to their Republican friends to let them know, "first...I don't have horns." Then, Clinton told the crowd the the economy works better when a Democrat is in office.
