92% of Americans have been paying less tax because of the Trump 2017 tax cuts. Harris says she will repeal the cuts. Why would ANYONE vote for THAT?

[RingOfFire]

Kamala Harris said that she will ELIMINATE the Trump Tax Cuts "on Day One" after she is elected. These are the cuts that gave 92% of Americans lower taxes. Even based on that alone, what kind of idiot would vote for paying higher taxes? She talks out of both sides of her mouth and constantly says things that make no sense at all. She has ZERO understanding of what she is talking about and just spits out some memorized propaganda. This business about only increasing taxes on the "rich" is a complete LIE. 92% of Americans ARE NOT RICH!

People believe that they would be will sit in a dark damp cave to save abortion. So they think they are willing to suffer for a cause. Actually they don't know much about real suffering.

[RingOfFire]

How true that is. It's always the same when dictators rise to power. They sell their cause as noble, ignorant people buy it and once they turn over the power to them it is too late for regret.

They will say tax the rich but they will tax everyone and waste our money while they get rich

[exitseven]

I git a nice tax break during the Trump Admin. My federal taxes went down $4000 dollars and I made more money during that year. Not exactly crumbs.

Totalitarians love having control of people and making them dependent on the government.

[bluesparrow]

The Dems will figure it out when it’s too late.

[FunkyMonkee]

No brains, obviously!!

Because women love killing their unborn children.

[ManInChains]

And they love that men are powerless to stop them even more

Cause you need to pay for the debt somehow.

[RingOfFire]

You pay off the debt by getting economic growth so that they amount of the debt compared to the GDP is not a problem. It is exactly the same as getting a better job so your debts are not so heavy compared to your income.

Increasing tax rates REDUCES the amount of tax collected because consumers have less money to spend and decreases GDP growth leading to an even worse tax revenue to GDP ration.

This has been proven over and over again.

President Trump understands this and has a brilliant plan to GROW THE ECONOMY. Kamala Harris has a plan to DESTROY IT.

[Opinion Owner]

Over the past 50 year the GDP has grown but the GDP to debt ratio has not gone down, but increased. Therefore growing the economy does not reduce debt

[RingOfFire]

It doesn't reduce it, it makes the debt less onerous.

If you've got an income of $20,000 a year and debt of $10,000, you've got a big problem.

If you've got an income of $100,000 a year and debt of $10,000 it's manageable.

[RingOfFire]

The problem isn't that taxes are too low, the problem is that spending is too high. Cutting taxes increases tax revenue because it stimulates economic growth. More people working at higher wages means more taxes collected. The government is collecting more tax revenue now than at any time in history. The problem is they're spending even more. We need spending cuts not tax increases.

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah we need to up taxes to 100% and cut all military funding, opting for private defense companies instead

[RingOfFire]

The most legitimate function of government it to protect the citizens. It is one of the only services that is more effectively provided by government on a national basis than by the private sector. Military and security spending is the most important expense in the budget because without secure borders and the ability to defend the country nothing else matters.

In 2023 spending on the military was a paltry 13.3% of the budget. Any inefficiencies in that spending is trivial compared to the waste, fraud and corruption contained in the other 86.7% of the budget where the real savings can be found. It's also less than the historical average spent on military. It needs to be increased while the rest of the budget is drastically cut.

[Opinion Owner]

The private sector will drive down defence prices and provide better defence at lower prices that the government can because they have competition and market forces at play while the government does not.

[Opinion Owner]

Plus with the private sector the people can choose a defence plan that works for them instead of wasting money on things they don't personally need

[RingOfFire]

You cannot have effective national defense if each person picks a different provider. That is impossible. It needs to be a coordinated effort.

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah I think you can
