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.

Pie-in-the-sky leftist pandering just prior to the midterms and priming the pump for her presidential run. Such a bill / proposal never gets out of committee, much less makes it to The President’s desk where he vetoes it.

Universal income, free college education, a guaranteed government job and Medicare for all = anyone working surrenders most of their income and their freedom = communism.

Never mind their incomes - they surrender their physical safety to the recipients of their money as well.

Anyone receiving government welfare should be denied the vote."

If the person were given a choice, welfare or no voting rights (enforced with imprisonment if violated), what do you suppose the average man or woman would choose?

Meant to say:
If the person were given a choice, welfare with no voting rights (enforced with imprisonment if violated) or NO welfare WITH voting rights, what do you suppose the average man or woman would choose?

Most low wage earners already get up to that much or more through the Earned Income refund when they file their taxes.

I don't think that any "average man or woman" that I know would be in that position.

Sorry ........

Yeah, it’s more of a dystopian society vision than what would actually happen today.

He was talking about this yesterday.

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

1. She is black.
2. She is a women.
3. She is a progressive.

What other rights does she need?

I know the Constitution says otherwise, but it's a living document...right?
