Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday refused to explain how she intends to pay for her pricey economic plan if Republicans in Congress block her proposed presidential agenda, one of several questions she dodged during her first one-on-one interview with a major news network since becoming the Democratic nominee.
“If you can’t raise corporate taxes, or if the GOP takes control of the Senate, where do you get the money to do that? Do you still go for those plans and borrow?” MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle asked Harris about her handout-heavy agenda.
“Well, but we’re going to have to raise corporate taxes,” the Democratic nominee responded, without explaining how she intends to do that without congressional support.
“We’re going to have to make sure that the biggest corporations and billionaires pay their fair share,” Harris continued. “That’s just it. It’s about paying their fair share.”
When Ruhle asked Harris how she would ensure that businesses hit with corporate tax hikes don’t leave the US, the vice president claimed that CEOs are supportive of her plan to raise the corporate rate from 21% to 28%.
“Well, listen, I work with a lot of CEOs,” Harris said. “I have spent a lot of time with CEOs. And I’m going to tell you that the business leaders who are actually part of the engine of America’s economy agree that people should pay their fair share.
“They also agree that when we look at a plan such as mine — that is about investing in the middle class, investing in new industries, investing and bringing down costs, investing in entrepreneurs like small businesses — that the overall economy is stronger and everyone benefits,” she added.

Ok next question…how many fingers am I holding up. Here’s a hint. It’s less than two
shes such a dumbass...all she knows are the talking points. Says them over and over no matter what she is asked. No clue about none of this. Wish shed get asked about the US NUCLEAR TRIAD....
Oh the genius of this woman. Why have the Democratics been hiding such brilliance from US? I feel so much better now that she is going to save the economy.
“the vice president claimed that CEOs are supportive of her plan to raise the corporate rate from 21% to 28%.”
Riiiight. 🙄
Why the hell is the dadgummed government ‘investing’ in anything? The only believable reason is they use taxes and spending as a component of their socialist wealth redistribution pogroms.
And, they’ve gotten away with it, all while dumbing down the population with ‘public’ schools (indoctrination camps).
She would answer with something about lawns and middle class
Because it is an investment. They pay for themselves. /s
Holistically, She’s a F’n failure except on her knees.
And the morons are propping her up like the messiah. I was reading the reason they say Kamala won’t talk about any of her policies is because she takes her time to vet them first LOL! Well how much time does she need? She’s been in office 3 years and 8 months!
There aren’t as many morons as you think.
She and the POTATUS weren’t elected, were they.
They were installed.
She knows a lot of CEOs...oh yeah...and they call her all the time right?
She will do what all women do when their hubbies are fresh out of cash. She will just charge it to the country’s credit card.
And the next question: which one do you think it is?
So is Harris planning on restructuring the entire tax code as it applies to corporations?
When Biden brought this up in 2020, some pencil pushers estimated the largest 55 companies earned $40 billion in pre-tax income, which would yield $8.5 billion at 21% taxation. In reality, because of incentives built into the tax code, they paid about $5 billion or about 13%. If that same $40 billion pre-tax income was taxed at 28% it would only yield about $3 billion more theoretically but the reality would be less because of tax code.
If she’s expecting a pot of gold by raising taxes 7% more, even if pre-tax profits doubled in the last 4 years, she’d need to find her some leprecauns to fund her pipe dreams because she won’t find the funds she’s dreaming of by taxing the 55 largest corporations.

i think ruhle snookered harris
ruhle was on maher saying harris should not be specific about policy and just go after Trump
then ruhle asks harris specific policy questions
everytime i hear harris says i was raised middle class
i think of kasich saying my daddy was a mailman
Probably true.. it will get passed on to the consumer..
Yup, she is.. no one is asking why she is there.
The deep state, uniparty bosses, and lobbyists are running DC. They want the village idiot or controlled deviant at the top.. funny how people change once they are in DC.
Look up where Dennis Hasert ended up.. all the insider trades made.. Obama with big mike.. j Edgar Hoover, who was a freak..
This is all built on the 17th Amendment. Time to repeal the 17th Amendment and eliminate the Senior Executive Service. Our Founding Father’s were not stupid!
Comments BUMP
That is true, and since absolutely nothing has been done about election integrity I wouldn’t be surprised if Ms.Spread the legs is installed as well.
