What We Know About Kamala Harris’s $5 Trillion Tax Plan So Far
nytimes.com
No one making less than $400,000 a year would see their taxes go up under the plan. Instead, Ms. Harris is seeking to significantly raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans and large corporations. Congress has previously rejected many of these tax ideas, even when Democrats controlled both chambers.

I do, and this last year every tax bracket except the rich saw a tax increase. Under this tax proposal it would keep Trump's tax margin in place but wouldn't go up. It needs to come back down to pre2017 levels.
Congratulations! Your income is higher than 99%+ of people in the country, and you (and the people who make obscene amounts more than even you a year) should be paying more in taxes.
You, umm.. might wanna think about not talking while us vast-majority-of-the-working-class are discussing how we are going to eat the rich.. just a thought. I know people in your tax bracket, and they are all wildly out of touch with society, just like you appear to be. The most I can make in my area, degreed and with skills and all, is 40k, literally 10x lower than what you make. And you have the absolute audacity to complain.
So.. like… Nobody cares about your “struggle”. At all. Literally nobody ever. You are part of the problem as far as most people are concerned. And you probably actually are part of the problem to be whining like this, anyway.
Sure, the communist is so out of touch with society.
Fucking lol, yeah right homie, I’m unconvinced and all my comrades will be similarly.
I’m an actual anarcho-communist, and nothing you’ve said makes me think you have even the slightest idea what communism even is.
Im gonna wager Ive been an active communist longer than youve been alive
I’m gunna wager you’re a lying sack of shit and aren’t a communist at all. See, only one of us can be right, and it isn’t you :)
If you are a commie, prove it. Nothing you’ve said so far (and I’m not going to dig through your post history; I have standards.) leads a person to believe you.. so make me believe you.
I'm not communist because I said taxes need to go down? No one that has any form of communist in their name would be advocating for taxes of any sort. Or does it bother you more that a communist actually makes a decent living? Or that my business is setup as a coopt where everyone makes an equal portion, has equal equity, and equal input in the direction of the company? A business where everyone owns what they produce?
Everyone in your business makes $400k per year?
How many employees do you have?
Everyone
What in your mind is a normal salary in an American business? Out of businesses in America, how typical do you imagine one would be that pays every single employee $400k per year? You seem to think these things you are claiming are pretty plausible, so I imagine you picture it as being pretty typical (or at least not comically outlandish), yes? Or no?
My situation is not normal, but I was able to find a market with no/little competition by creating a foothold before anyone else did, and make a good living with it. I also remember what it was like to struggle with money and am aware of the struggles others are facing right now.
As any good communist would do
And now, like any good communist would be, you’re super upset that a central authority wants to take more than 37% of what you produced for yourself (since you have enough) and allocate it somewhere else, where there might not be enough. You’re saying you need to keep it for yourself, so you can keep doing communism with it.
This is like communism 101, I feel bad for ever suspecting you of dishonesty
I could be taxed at 100% and none of what I was taxed at would be allocated where it could do good somewhere else, you would be lining the pockets of capitalists and the military industrial complex.
Yeah I just bet someone whining about not getting enough of a tax break runs a co-op.
Bullshit. Go home. You aren’t fooling anyone.
You're sure carrying a lot of water for them being someone claiming to be an anarcho-Communist.
Go home. You aren’t fooling anyone.
I'm not going anywhere
You know what's pre2017? 1980, and I agree with that.
Why?
Oh cry us a river
What are you missing out on as a result of your current taxation level?
I'm not missing that at anything, If you'll notice, I advocated lower taxes for people that had their taxes raised these last few years.
