- New website includes calculator on how much American families would lose
Americans can now see how much money they would lose each year if Vice President Kamala Harris abandons Donald Trump’s tax cuts.
A new website shared exclusively with DailyMail.com includes a calculator feature that voters can use to see an estimate of how Harris’s tax policies would affect them.
The largest PAC supporting the former president is unveiling the tool in the days after Harris announced her running mate will be Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
Visitors to calculatorkamalatax.com They are asked to enter their income, state, marital status, age and number of children and dependents to then see how the policy change “will affect” them.
The PAC’s website accuses Harris of “attacking Trump’s tax cuts.”
A new website lets users enter their tax return information to find out how much money they would lose if Kamala Harris reversed Trump-era tax cuts
A married person filing jointly, under age 65, earning $75,000, with two children and living in Arizona would lose $2,828 each year under a Harris administration, according to an example provided by DailyMail.com.
In the 2020 Democratic primary, Harris called for a complete repeal of the Trump-era tax reform law passed in 2017.
“On day one we’re going to repeal that tax bill that benefited the top 1 percent and corporations,” Harris said during an event in Detroit with the American Federation of Teachers, adding that if she were president she would “get rid of the whole thing.”
Instead, Harris wanted to implement legislation she had proposed while a senator, which would include $3 trillion in refundable tax cuts that would hit the middle class.
“Keep your hard-earned money!” it says at the bottom of the page. “Vote for Trump!”
Make America Great Again Inc.’s new website, launched Friday, includes a link to an article about Harris’s 2019 remarks.
It also includes a link to a 2017 statement by Walz, who at the time was a U.S. representative from Minnesota, explaining why he voted against Trump’s tax cuts.
Harris said during her 2020 presidential campaign that if she were in the White House she would support ending Trump’s 2017 tax cuts.
“My Republican colleagues have once again rushed to vote for a partisan bill that would have a detrimental impact on millions of Americans,” Walz wrote at the time. “With this legislation, 86 million middle-class families would see their taxes increase.”
“To make matters worse, 83 percent of the tax cuts in this bill would go to the wealthiest one percent of Americans, many of whom belong to the class of political donors who pour large sums of money into elections across the country,” he continued.
The economy and inflation remain the number one issue for voters heading to the polls in November.
Trump’s team argues that another four years of Democratic rule will further exacerbate Americans’ recent economic woes.
