The vice president supports the tax increases proposed by the Biden White House, according to her campaign.

No one making less than $400,000 a year would see their taxes go up under the plan. Instead, Ms. Harris is seeking to significantly raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans and large corporations. Congress has previously rejected many of these tax ideas, even when Democrats controlled both chambers.

    I do, and this last year every tax bracket except the rich saw a tax increase. Under this tax proposal it would keep Trump’s tax margin in place but wouldn’t go up. It needs to come back down to pre2017 levels.

      Congratulations! Your income is higher than 99%+ of people in the country, and you (and the people who make obscene amounts more than even you a year) should be paying more in taxes.

      You, umm… might wanna think about not talking while us vast-majority-of-the-working-class are discussing how we are going to eat the rich… just a thought. I know people in your tax bracket, and they are all wildly out of touch with society, just like you appear to be. The most I can make in my area, degreed and with skills and all, is 40k, literally 10x lower than what you make. And you have the absolute audacity to complain.

      So… like… Nobody cares about your “struggle”. At all. Literally nobody ever. You are part of the problem as far as most people are concerned. And you probably actually are part of the problem to be whining like this, anyway.

          Fucking lol, yeah right homie, I’m unconvinced and all my comrades will be similarly.

          I’m an actual anarcho-communist, and nothing you’ve said makes me think you have even the slightest idea what communism even is.

              I’m gunna wager you’re a lying sack of shit and aren’t a communist at all. See, only one of us can be right, and it isn’t you :)

              If you are a commie, prove it. Nothing you’ve said so far (and I’m not going to dig through your post history; I have standards.) leads a person to believe you… so make me believe you.

                I’m not communist because I said taxes need to go down? No one that has any form of communist in their name would be advocating for taxes of any sort. Or does it bother you more that a communist actually makes a decent living? Or that my business is setup as a coopt where everyone makes an equal portion, has equal equity, and equal input in the direction of the company? A business where everyone owns what they produce?

                  Everyone in your business makes $400k per year?

                  How many employees do you have?

                  Yeah I just bet someone whining about not getting enough of a tax break runs a co-op.

                  Bullshit. Go home. You aren’t fooling anyone.

                    You’re sure carrying a lot of water for them being someone claiming to be an anarcho-Communist.

      You know what’s pre2017? 1980, and I agree with that.

        I’m not missing that at anything, If you’ll notice, I advocated lower taxes for people that had their taxes raised these last few years.
