What ramblings are you talking about? The rambling about how he was explaining, without assistance (Kamala), why your candidate was selected for you?

What are Kamala’s policies? No tax on tips? (Trump), The earned income tax credit? (Trump/Vance)?” Her plan came less than one week after Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, former President Donald Trump’s GOP running mate, floated a $5,000 child tax credit.”

She can even do it while reducing the deficit? MVP, explain to me how this will reduce the deficit?

VP Harris’s Tax Policy Ideas: Details and Analysis

On tax policy, Harris carries forward much of President Biden’s FY 2025 budget, including higher taxes aimed at businesses and high earners. She would also further expand the child tax credit (CTC) and various other tax credits and incentives while exempting tips from income tax.

Price controls on “Fake” Price-gouging going on in Grocery Stores, Tax hikes on businesses, Tax hikes on high earners, mortgage assistance for unqualified people.

Let’s be real d honest here MVP, you are voting for her because you are Anti-Trump/Republican. She is the one that rambles about nothing, she talks in circles and she has no depth on policy when pressed. I have brought this up many times.

None of these politicians can claim credit for any of those changes. No tax on tips is already a thing in multiple states and has been floated at the federal level for decades. Child tax credit is a recurring idea that generally Democrats want to expand and Republicans want to kill. For either side to claim "credit" for decades-old legislative efforts as their "idea" is preposterous in the extreme.

Fact is that's a big concern I have with both sides in this one, no new ideas.

The devil is in the details. The tax free tip plans republicans propose also bleed over into Wall Street. They can write off some of their income as tax free tips. Democratic proposals don’t include the same stuff as Republicans. Ted Cruz tried this a while back:

As usual, I have the receipts

Nevertheless, the No Tax on Tips Act is deeply flawed; it would leave out the more than 95 percent of low- and moderate-wage workers who are not in tipped occupations. And in many cases, the tax cuts it would provide low- and moderate-wage tipped workers would be small or nonexistent. This is a much worse approach to lifting working families than the American Rescue Plan’s enhancements to the earned income tax credit (EITC) and child tax credit (CTC), which the Biden administration and congressional Democrats such as Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) have proposed making permanent. A single parent with one child making $19,000 in tips and $5,000 in wages, for example, would receive no tax cut from Sen. Cruz’s bill—as shown in Table 1. The restoration of the American Rescue Plan’s CTC expansion, on the other hand, would give them a full $1,090 tax cut.

At the same time, the No Tax on Tips Act contains few, if any, guardrails to prevent high-income professionals such as hedge fund managers from shifting their compensation to a tax-free tipping model. Given the difference in tax rates, the tax breaks from exempting part of these high earners’ income from income taxes would be far larger than any tax breaks for lower-income workers. For instance, a married couple making $1 million in wages could get a tax cut of $180,000 by shifting half of those wages to tax-free tips.

Sen. Cruz’s bill attempts to cover for the regressivity of the 2017 tax law but opens the door to even larger tax cuts for the wealthy.

You really cannot say that Kennedy does not have a very clear understanding of Trump….

“…..Kennedy suggested Trump’s leadership had damaged American attempts to spread democracy worldwide.

“If you live in China today, and you’re looking at what’s happening in the United States, why would you ever say, we wanna switch our system for that system, which can produce that kind of buffoonery at a high level,” added Kennedy. “I think President Trump is purposefully and systematically encouraging tyrannical governments around the world.”

Speaking with Yahoo Finance in January 2020, Kennedy made similar comments.

“Well, I think the problem is, number one, he’s a bully. And you know, I don’t like bullies and I don’t think – America – that’s part of America’s tradition. I think in many ways he’s discredited the American experiment with self-governance,” Kennedy added.

In August 2016, during an interview with Larry King, Kennedy expressed deep concerns about Trump’s rise to power, calling it “scary.” Kennedy noted the potential harm of leaders who exploit these darker elements of society.

“The easiest thing for a political leader to do is to appeal to our bigotry and our hatred and xenophobia and prejudice, and point to people who are unlike us and say they’re the ones who are damaging our country,” he said.
