FACT CHECK: Kamala *Already* Raised Taxes — And She’ll Do It Again
September 10, 2024
Kamala Harris has already raised Americans' taxes — and if she’s elected in November, she’ll raise them by trillions more.
Kamala’s pledge “not to raise taxes” on low- and middle-class Americans is a complete lie.
- FACT: Harris has pledged to eliminate President Trump's successful tax cuts — which would raise taxes on 91% of earners across every income bracket, raise taxes on small businesses, raise utility bills, raise the death tax, cut the child tax credit, and much more.
- FACT: Harris-Biden *already* raised the tax burden on Americans earning as little as $20,000/year, with their so-called "Inflation Reduction Act" decreasing average after-tax income for taxpayers at every income level.
- FACT: Harris-Biden *already* raised taxes on small businesses — with a $52 billion tax hike that "widen[ed] the net of taxable income" and ramped up IRS audits and complicated tax reporting requirements that increased operating costs.
- FACT: Harris is proposing the largest tax hike in American history, including a marginal income tax rate hike, a capital gains tax hike, and a business tax rate hike (higher than communist China).
- FACT: Harris *also* backs a carbon tax, a "climate pollution fee," and $10 trillion in new "climate spending."
- FACT: The Harris-Biden hidden tax of inflation has cost the average American family an extra $28,000+ paying for the increased cost of living.
Meanwhile, President Trump is proposing more tax relief for middle-income Americans, including a plan to ELIMINATE federal taxes on tips — a boon for working class Americans.
Kamala Harris can run from her record, but she can't hide — she is weak, failed, and dangerously liberal.
