>Harris Campaign Has No Time To "Think About Why Certain Things Have Happened" In Past 4 Years
<The Harris campaign declared Thursday that they don’t have time to think about why the economy is the way it is right now with high inflation and poor job numbers.
<Harris-Walz spokesman Ian Sams stated:
<“We’ve got 60 days until the election. You know, we don’t have time to sit around and think about why, over the last few years, certain things may have happened or may not have happened.”
>"It'll Crater The Market": Andy Schectman On Kamala Harris' Tax Policy
<Andy expresses strong opposition to several economic policies proposed by the Harris administration. He argues that these policies are "anti-American" and could have disastrous effects on the economy.
<Schectman criticizes taxing unrealized gains as one of the most "ridiculous anti-American things" he has ever heard. He explains that taxing unrealized gains would force those with significant investments to liquidate their holdings, potentially causing market crashes. "You crater the market, whatever market that is," Schectman warns, emphasizing the destabilizing effects such a policy could have on job creators and investors.
<Another policy under scrutiny is the proposal to increase capital gains tax for those earning over a million dollars. Schectman argues this would lead to further market collapses as investors are compelled to sell assets to cover tax liabilities. He describes this approach as "stepping on the inflation accelerator" due to the government's simultaneous attempts to provide various tax credits and incentives, which could exacerbate fiscal irresponsibility.
<Schectman also criticizes the use of tax dollars for reparations and first-time homebuyer tax credits, which he sees as fiscal irresponsibility at a time when the country is facing severe economic challenges. He also points out the contradictory nature of increasing taxes while simultaneously providing substantial fiscal incentives, describing the overall approach as a recipe for economic disaster.
>In Gaza War, Trump Allies See Opening to Lure away Arab, Muslim Voters
<The administration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump’s opponent in November, has been unable to stop a major U.S. ally’s devastating military campaign, which has killed more than 40,000 Palestinians, according to local health authorities. Throughout the world, many Arabs and Muslims have come to see Israel’s actions as a genocide, while in America, about 750,000 people channeled their anger by voting “uncommitted” in the Democratic primaries, rather than align behind the incumbent.
<For Boulos, who calls himself Trump’s “envoy” to Arab and Muslim American communities, to assert in this setting that Trump would be a better friend to Palestinians is still no easy sell. The former president’s standing within these communities often is overshadowed by his past rhetoric and policies appearing to vilify Muslims and Arabs – including a social media post Sunday that appeared to show Muslim men burning an American flag. “Meet your new neighbors if Kamala wins. Vote Trump 2024,” it read.
<But what if some could be persuaded to vote for Trump anyway?
<In a tight presidential election that pollsters predict is likely to be decided on the margins, Boulos, 54, reasons that a little outreach could make all the difference. “Our community in Arizona is so big and so important, we can make a difference. We can make sure we get that margin,” he told the group that night in late August.
