WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democrat Hillary Clinton told Americans on Sunday that she wanted to be their champion as she officially launched her 2016 presidential campaign.

In a video released on hillaryclinton.com, Clinton highlighted the theme of economic inequality, saying "the deck is still stacked in favour" of those at the top of the income ladder.
