Kamala Harris and other prominent Democrats want to repeal Trump's tax cuts and replace them with cash payouts for the poor and working class

With midterm elections 2½ weeks away and the 2020 presidential race around the corner, prominent Democrats are embracing an ambitious idea: Repeal and replace the $1.5 trillion Republican tax plan.

The proposals would get rid of the tax cuts and, in turn, funnel that money into government-guaranteed cash for low- and middle-income households.

Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., announced a plan this week that would give working families up to $6,000 each year, with the option of receiving monthly payments. Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, and Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., outlined a similar idea last year. A bill from Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, D-N.J., would allow family caregivers and students to receive the money as well.

Something about the consequences of a democracy once voting for largess commences comes to mind.

The working class want jobs, opportunities and tax cuts, not handouts or interference from illegals.

Someone needs to ask Kamala what right does she have to run for POTUS as her parents were both foreigners at her birth.

Something like the camel’s nose under the tent.

They can’t grow government bigger in one fell swoop so they want to do it on the installment plan.

Its the same expressway to hell; Harris would just get us there slower.

More to the point: Trump worked all his life in the private sector and Harris has known nothing but government employment.

The American people know who is qualified to run the economy; it certainly isn’t a political hack from California.

Her, Elizabeth Warren and Hillary Clinton.

To say that some women know less about life than a man isn’t a sexist insult; its the truth.

I just love it when the party of compassion says its time to show compassion with OPM.

Until they run out of it.

Exactly.

That's the way socialism leads to totalitarianism.

They insert one socialistic program and when it fails to work, they insert one more, then another one...until eventually they have Venezuela.

What has historically happened in the U.S. is that citizens refuse to go along and elect someone who will unwind the failing socialistic programs.

From what I can tell, the Left has weaponized its entire movement in hopes of preventing that in the future by means of intimidation and violence.

The Democratic Part has dropped all pretense of being "center left." They have emerged from the closet as full-on commies.

More Dem policy to keep ‘de black man’ enslaved, fully seized by plantation mentality.

The Trump agenda is for ‘Jobs not Mobs!”

Poor Kamala is about to get screwed once again. This time not by Willie Brown, but by history and a People who love freedom, regardless of race or ethnicity.

It’s a sign of sheer desperation when they start promulgating direct cash payouts.

Maybe this commie Harris should donate her Senate paycheck to the U.S. Treasury to help pay for her Marxist scheme.

I think we need to revise the voting system.

Anyone receiving government welfare should be denied the vote.
