I’m so sick of this crap. Republicans had the opportunity to do some serious legislating when Trump was in office. What did we get, Tax breaks for rich folk and Giant corporations. The repeal of Roe v Wade. Separation of families at the border. A disastrous pandemic rollout. Disfunction in congress. The attempted repeal of the ACA. I could go on. And when it was finally done and we voted out the orange haired clown an attempted coup.

Everything that’s happened since is a direct consequence of Trump and Mitch McConnell’s win at all costs attitude and the complete disregard of the majority of the American people.

You don’t like Biden or Harris, then maybe you should not have placed such a narcissistic asshole at the top of your party! Originally Posted by txdot-guy

Why don’t we get back on topic. Please explain to me why you think that Kamala Harris’s economic policies are Communist or socialist policies.

What was said was tax revenue from corporations would decrease significantly but the hope was that corporations would reinvest their additional profits into building more infrastructure to produce more product which would require more workers. Did not happen to the extent that Trump expected.

"The corporate tax cuts included in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act helped boost business investment while delivering a small increase in worker pay, according to a new analysis published by the Bureau of Economic Research. The tax cuts did not, however, come anywhere close to paying for themselves, as their Republican proponents in Congress and the Trump administration insisted they would, and instead are costing the federal government more than $100 billion per year in lost revenues."

Opportunity Economy??
We already have that.
Also known as capitalism.
Work your butt off and take the rewards.

Is she going to change the definition so it includes govt subsidized economy?? Does this mean more handouts??
Whose going to pay for all of that??

That will be a total fail as socialism always does. Originally Posted by Unique_Carpenter

If you get paid with a 1099 taxes are not automatically taken out. If you use a CPA to do your tax return you may not have pay any taxes at all, depending on your situation.

Pure capitalist move to obtain a lifetime customer.
Kamala will have taxpayers fund the 25K.
Not similar at all.

So you agree that taxpayers will pay for Kammy's giveaways to buy future votes.

The same argument can be made for the Federal Government. Let's say that the government gives $25,000 to a first time home buyer that uses a Wells Fargo bank to get the mortgage. Wells Fargo does not have a program to help with closing costs. Because of Harris's program for first time home buyers Wells Fargo will make money on the loan interest of a customer they would not have had without the Harris Program. This increase in revenue gets paid back to the government in the form of corporate taxis which is now 20% due to the Trump Tax cut for Corporations.

The above scenario is similar to Bank of America example. The Federal Government is getting the money back due to the increased profits of Wells Fargo that is taxable income.

When Elon Musk started Tesla to make electric cars, he got loan interest loans from the state of Calif, that was paid for by Calif state tax payers.

That's not dollar for dollar

blah blah blah, same old democrap crying point. I'm not rich but retired on fixed income, however I did what I could to compare one years 1040 and another 1040 the first year after trump put in the tax cut. My actual difference was I would pay around $1500 less after the tax cut.

The program where Bank of America gives $10,000 to qualified first time home buyers to help with closing costs is not "dollar for dollar" either. The buyer can refinance the mortgage with another bank after 30 days. In this scenario BOA does not recoup their money with 15 years of mortgage payments where the interest is paid off before the principal.

The state of Texas has down payment assistance program of $8,000 for first time home buyers. Who is paying for that? Texas does not have a State Income Tax.

The bottom line is if BOA and the State of Texas down payment assistance programs are not socialist, then neither is the down payment assistance program that Harris proposes.
