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.

From the article: “The Nov. 6 elections will be a testing ground for the Democratic agenda, and Economic Security Project's Ruben said the Democratic Party will need fresh thinking to connect with voters in 2020.” ---

Good luck with that, Kamala.

What do you think, Willie Brown?

> with cash payouts for the poor and working class

Tax cuts allow working people to keep their own money. “Cash payouts” from the government TAKE from working people.

It is an insane idea. A genuine republic killer.

Not a killer of the Republican Party. A killer of the republic.

Now Democrats want to bribe people with their own money to win votes.

How stupid do they think we are? Because I pay no federal taxes and Harris’ plan to hand out cash payments wouldn’t help me in any way whatsoever.

People have benefited from the tax cuts and Democrats want to take them away from you - for the common good.

What a joke. It wouldn’t even pay most people’s rents.

Why stop at $6,000? You can apply the same logical fallacy here that exists for the minimum wage.

Enough giving cash to the “poor”. It doesn’t work.

I can hear them now; “$6000 a year is not a ‘living handout’ we must index it to inflation and raise it to $$$$$”

Of course inflation will run rampant and productivity will cease as it has in the utopian paradise of Venezuela.

Why? Why not give everyone replacement income? The Democrats want socialism but they can’t be honest with the American people about it.

Voters have to decide if they want America to become like Venezuela.

Why don't we just euthanize the poor? It would save everyone a lot of trouble. Think of all the savings from the drop in crime and lower welfare payments.

How does taking from the middle class and the rich make my life better?

Democrats seem to think if we rob Peter to help Paul, Paul gets to be equal.

But we can’t make people equal. Even socialist regimes couldn’t do it.

Ya ...we’d much rather have the government in charge of handing out freebies than citizens having jobs!

That’s a fundamental philosophical difference.

Conservatives believe individuals can best decide how to live their lives.

The Left thinks the government should decide how you should live it.

These people are either deviously smart or dumb as rocks. In either case they think the majority of people are too stupid to see their communism dependency scheme...I think most see it now.

Kamala’s nickname should be either Payola Harris or Miss Venezuela.
