6 Kamala Harris Tax Reforms We Avoided by Choosing Trump

The child tax credit

The Biden administration has been focused on the child tax credit, with an expansion passed in the House in February. This could’ve been another Kamala Harris tax reform on high priority if she wins the election.

Kamala stated at a political event in North Carolina before Biden left the race that, “Whereas the last administration gave tax cuts to billionaires, we gave tax cuts to families through the child tax credit, which cut child poverty in America by half.”

The American Rescue Plan increased the maximum tax break to $3,000 or $3,600 for every child, up from $2,000, and sent payments to families each month.

As a result, the child poverty rate dropped to a historic low of 5.2% in 2021, mainly due to the expansion, an analysis found. Sadly, after pandemic relief ended, childhood poverty more than doubled in 2022, leaping to 12.4%, according to the US Census Bureau.

    If ur truly believe this from the Commie two faced liar then u are as dumb as she is. She going to raise taxes on everyone including Corporations which in turn will pass along higher prices to consumers. They not going to lose money. She also tax the hell out of ur 401k u been saving for years to retire. Oh and her 25k to buy a first or a house program she suggests will not apply to 90% of Americans w that little loophole fine print unless u are an illegal. U will get it

    Simple flat income tax rate across the board takes all the loop holes and “make taxes fair” which should be the only position anyone should take. Does kamala disavow her father’s Marxist beliefs,unlikely. America is not and should never become a Marxist nation. Want to see unfair look at Marxist and communist countries at the lower income levels. There is no true middleclass in socualist communist or Marxist countries and kamala beliefs will do nothing but bankrupt the country. Why are people so happy thinking about going after the large companies and corporations being taxed more than everyone. And this offshore residents tax is a learned behavior this woman learned in California they are coming after residents that left California for more taxes because we moved. Everyone has an opinion and this is mine just being black doesn’t qualify you to be president anymore than being a girl does. TRUMP 2024

    A gains tax would destroy home ownership. It would result in massive increase in homeless people. It would also destroy manufactiuing and then our economy. Note: federal tax was 10% for the lowest income under Obama administration but increased to 12% under Biden_Harris administration. So much for helping the lower income, middle class. Moreover, socialism has been tried and failed in every country (even Russia) . Harris’ plans will create chaos and destroy America.

    I will believe it when I see it. She has every ability to start doing what she says she will do while she’s in the White House right now so so why doesn’t she get the ball rolling?

    It could work for some people but I don’t think it will work for all but if it does work for those who really need it I am for it at least some benefit

    I think we should not be voting for the charisma of the next president but voting for the policies that they will represent. Kamala’s policies are truly socialist and will deviate the country to a much worse scenario that we are in already. It is time for a change to how it used to be before Obama and Bidenomics.
