Kamala Struggles In Friendly Interview To Answer Basic Questions On Her Economic Agenda
Daily Wire ^ | October 07, 2024 | Staff

Posted on 10/07/2024 9:41:26 AM PDT by Red Badger

Vice President Kamala Harris struggled in a friendly interview that airs this week to competently answer questions surrounding her economic agenda.

Harris sat down for an interview with CBS News’ “60 Minutes” that was taped last week and is set to air on Monday night as part of a special election episode.

“My plan is about saying that when you invest in small businesses, you invest in the middle class, and you strengthen America’s economy,” Harris told correspondent Bill Whitaker. “Small businesses are part of the backbone of America’s economy.”

“But pardon me, Madam Vice President, the question was, how are you going to pay for it?” Whitaker responded.

“Well, one of the things I’m going to make sure that the richest among us, who can afford it, pay their fair share in taxes,” Harris answered. “It is not right that teachers and nurses and firefighters are paying a higher tax rate than billionaires and the biggest corporations. And I plan on making that fair.”

Whitaker fired back: “But we’re dealing with the real world here.”

“How are you going to get this through Congress?” he asked.

Harris responded by saying that members of Congress know what she’s talking about “because their constituents know exactly what I’m talking about.”

She did not answer the question.

The only way to get the extreme rich to pay more taxes is to get rid of tax-exempt "charitable" foundations in which they hide their profit-motivated influence buying and personal expenses.

Democrats would NEVER do that.

... and positioned herself in DEM-friendly voting situations (CA Senator, VP in a massive fraud POTUS election).

Two years Elon Musk paid roughly $15 billion in income taxes. Do you think he paid enough? Did he pay his fair share? what exactly is the fair share in Kabala Harris’s mind it probably would be 90% of earned income. Well if you do that, then people will just produce less and reduce their income tax burden.

“ But pardon me, Madam Vice President, the question was, how are you going to pay for it?” Whitaker responded.”

I’m glad to hear at least one person asking the “how are you going to pay for it” question. During any Republican administration that question is asked constantly. During a democrat administration, not so. Dems just create magic money and don’t worry about “paying for it”. They just run up the deficit and the national debt sending money to their preferred groups.

When one reads this sort of stuff, it makes one wonder if the Democrats really want to win this election. 2 dolts on a ticket doesn’t bode well to win. Waltz is a buffoon and Harris is simply a dumb jackass.

She really has no clue.

If I were president, I would eliminate all tax-exempt organizations. Every single one of them. The NFL is a tax-exempt, non-profit organization.

Just to clarify, the NFL is tax-exempt, but NOT a non-profit org.

From the interweb:

Tax-exempt status
The NFL is exempt from taxes under Section 501(c)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code, which applies to professional football leagues. This status was granted in 1944, and was reaffirmed in 1966 when the NFL merged with the American Football League.

Non-profit type
The NFL is a trade association, not a charitable nonprofit, and is considered a 501(c)(6) organization. This means that the NFL is exempt from taxes as long as it benefits the entire industry or helps a common business interest.

Taxation of NFL revenue
Money generated by the NFL from sponsorships, broadcast deals, and ticket sales is taxed through a for-profit organization owned by the 32 NFL teams.

Tax-exempt status of NFL franchises
The tax-exempt status of the NFL does not apply to the 32 individually owned NFL franchises

Walz is not a buffoon, he’s a knucklehead! He said so!

Democrats can’t wait to have a knucklehead one heartbeat away from the presidency
