(Congressional Agenda) – A brand new website has launched that shows American voters just how much money it will cost them if Vice President Kamala Harris defeats former President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential race and tosses out the tax cuts he provided during his first administration. It’s even worse than you probably think. Anytime you discuss getting rid of tax cuts it’s going to have a horrific impact on the ever shrinking middle class. The website in question shared this information with the UK’s Daily Mail.
“The largest PAC supporting the former president is unveiling the tool in the days after Harris announced her running mate as Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. Visitors to kamalataxcalculator.com are prompted to input their income, state, marital status, age, and number of children and dependents to then see how the policy change ‘will impact you,'” the article said. “The PAC’s web page accuses Harris of an ‘assault on the Trump tax cuts.’ A married person filing jointly, under the age of 65, making $75,000 with two children and living in Arizona would lose $2,828 every year under a Harris administration, according to an example input by DailyMail.com.”
Back when Harris was running for the Democratic Party nomination in 2020, she called for all of the Trump era tax cuts to be repealed.
“On Day One, we’re going to repeal that tax bill that benefited the top 1 percent and corporations,” Harris remarked during an event held in Detroit with the American Federation of Teachers, going on to add that if she nabbed the presidency she would “get rid of the whole thing.”
“Rather, Harris wanted to implement legislation she had proposed while a senator that would include providing $3 trillion in refundable tax cuts that would affect the middle class. ‘Keep your hard earned money!’ the bottom of the page reads. ‘Vote Trump!'” the report revealed.
“[M]y Republican colleagues have once again rushed a vote on a partisan bill that would have a detrimental impact on millions of Americans,” Walz commented at the time. “Under this legislation, 86 million middle class families would see their taxes increase.”
“To make matters even worse, 83 percent of the tax cuts in this bill would go to the wealthiest one percent of Americans, many of whom belong to the political donor class that pours large sums of money into elections all across the nation,” he added.
The number one issue of concern for the overwhelming majority of voters in our country is the economy and the astronomical inflation rate. Groceries have practically doubled and even tripled in cost in some places around America, making comfortable middle-class families struggle paycheck-to-paycheck.
Trump’s campaign has stated over and over that if we allow the left to have control of the White House and Congress for another four years, our economy, which is already down in the gutter, is going to bottom out. That’s the last thing we need, especially with so much instability on the geopolitical stage. Defending liberty and protecting our interests abroad is not cheap. Right now things are so expensive that we can’t afford a global conflict to suddenly erupt due to awful foreign policies.
Let’s hope people think clearly come November and stay away from Harris at the polls.

Fact check: the inflation rate is not astronomical as stated; it’s about 3%, not the 10% of Trump’s term in office.
Fact check: Trump tariffs cost everybody more for purchases, since buyers pay the increased prices due to tariffs, not anybody else as Trump said lying.
Fact check: tax cuts for the wealthy under Trump gave billions to the richest people, and crumbs to the middle class; the tax on the richest were permanent; the rest of us face increased taxes from Trump’s unfair plan.
Fact check: the American economy is thriving, whereas the rest of the world languishes.
Fact check: food, clothing and gasoline prices are higher than before, but Trump policies cut the labor force with immigration policies raising food prices, tariffs on China cost us more for clothing and electronics and war with Ukraine raised prices with scarce gasoline from sanctions on Russia illegally invading Ukraine driving them up.
Whoever provided details and data for this piece is clearly sandbagging Americans and distorting the truth that Trump was primarily to blame for our costlier living–which is still up somewhat but not like Trump era actions.
This guy Dr Bill is full of owl manure.
Make that a ‘wise’ old owl. Haven’t you anything substantial to say–oops, its a Republican article, not based on substance. Do you know that?
