Kamala Harris and Donald Trump: A Clash Over Taxes and Economic Policies
Kamala Harris and Donald Trump on Taxes
A growing number of Americans could be in line for a tax break if former President Donald Trump re-takes the White House. Trump has floated tax cuts aimed at senior citizens, tipped workers, and homeowners in high-tax states. Most notably, his latest proposal involves reversing a $10,000 deduction cap on state and local taxes (SALT) he enacted during the 2017 Tax Cuts & Jobs Act.
Funding Trump's Tax Breaks
With the cost of Trump's tax proposals increasing, the focus shifts to funding. Trump aims to cover these costs by proposing new tariffs on all imports into the U.S. However, Kamala Harris offers a different perspective, highlighting the need for sustainable tax policies that consider long-term economic health.
