TPresident Joe Biden took aim at the Republicans’ 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and its provisions that are due to expire in 2025. He told electrical union workers, “It’s going to expire, and if I’m reelected it’s going to stay expired.”
If Congress fails to extend the Trump-era tax cuts, it means an average American family of four making $75,000 will get hit with a $1,500 tax increase. Main Street businesses will face a 43.4 percent tax rate, and “working parents will suffer from a Child Tax Credit slashed in half, along with the standard deduction every taxpayer is due.
Contrary to what the Biden administration would have us believe, most Americans got a tax cut thanks to the 2017 law, which Biden loves to demonize.
Kamala honestly believes the things she is promising to do to our family finances, and to the economy if elected U.S. President, will HELP us.
One study from 2023 argues that TCJA caused U.S. companies to increase domestic investment around 20%, which also increased wages. Another study, from 2022, found that TCJA’s rate cut increased “sales, profits, investment, and employment,” but that economic gains were concentrated among the top 10% of earners
Was skewed to the rich..Households with incomes in the top 1 percent will receive an average tax cut of more than $60,000 in 2025, compared to an average tax cut of less than $500 for households in the bottom 60 percent
Trump is currently pledging to ban federal contracts to firms that offshore to China, but to date has awarded $113.9 billion to firms that did just that.
The Trump-GOP tax law enacted in December 2017 creates clear incentives for American-based corporations to move operations and jobs abroad, including a zero percent tax rate on many profits generated offshore.

Candidate Kamala Harris is promising to deliver changes to the U.S. economy that will plunge millions of families into poverty, and force many millions more individuals and families to a lower standard of living.
Kamala honestly believes the things she is promising to do to our family finances, and to the economy if elected U.S. President, will HELP us.
But it appears NAIVETY is blocking her common-sense thought processes, when planning these projects.
For example, like Joe Biden, his replacement Kamala Harris is promising to let Tax-Cuts expire in 2025. Kamala's naivety makes her believe RAISING TAXES on individuals, families, and corporations, is good for America and Americans.

Another President Harris order will be to raise the national minimum wage to $15 per hour: x.com...
While at the same time, keeping prices of goods and services artificially low (price ceilings): thehill.com...
Essentially, President Harris's administration will tell Grocery Stores that every employee must make at least $15 per hour, and bread can't cost any more than $2.50 @ loaf....or milk can't cost more than $2.50 @ gallon, as 2 examples.
What effects will this have on the economy? A "wrecking ball" is too tame of a description, imo.
-----------------
What happens to workers when their employers are taxed at a higher rate? You guessed it. The owners don't suffer one bit.
President Kamala Harris will increase the tax rate of businesses from 21% to 28%, and throw in a 25% tax on "unrealized" capital gains.
This government scheme to raise cash will deliver reduced benefits to employees, large-scale layoffs, and higher prices for all consumers.

Since the unrealized capital gains tax is for people and entities that have assets of $100 million or more (how they determine what an eligible asset is and who owns it I don't know), this tax would likely cause some bankruptcies and job reductions that would kill off the tax revenues a year or two later. It's a Loon Policy, that's why The Biden Admin is proposing it already. Kamala is acting like it's her brand new save-all be-all end-all brilliance. It's closer to an "end-all" policy than anything else 🤣
