VP Harris needs to do some homework. According to data from the Federal Reserve, revenue from corporate taxes nearly doubled from 2020 to 2023 to nearly $450B. If corporate taxes have doubled, and corporations can only pay their bills by raising revenue through sales, it stands to reason that much of the “price gouging” she complains about is coming from the need to satisfy the tax man. To raise enough to close the deficit, corporate taxes would have to be increased by a factor of 5! Not a great idea. Oh by the way, the last two times corporate tax receipts spiked like the recent increase, recession soon followed.
One doesn’t have to be MAGA or listen to trolls to question the timing of the Adam's indictment. Could it be that after his remarks someone at DOJ just decided to no longer shield him?
"If we inspire ourselves by being inspired, the spirit of inspiration that is America will be inspired, as it is the well-spring of all inspiration and spirit that inspires inspiration in the optimistic spirit of the inspiring of Americans during this inspirational time of spirit!"
Kamala purports to speak for me - a firefighter (albeit retired) - in service of higher taxes so corporations can pay “their fair share.” Has anyone ever heard a Dem give an upper limit to “fair share?” I imagine it’s north of 80% if they’re being honest.
And doofus reporter asks "where will the money come from if the corporate tax doesn't get raised?" Duh, from the citizens of the US. Who do you think pays the taxes for the corporations? Geez, these folks are liars are just completely and utterly dense.
I watched brief clips from the two chats KH had with Oprah and the other woman. They sounded like metaphysical therapy sessions. When she dropped the word “holistic” I knew the metamorphosis to a complete snowflake was complete.
Anytime the DoJ comes after a person of note, especially a politician, it has to be a form of lawfare to suppress anti-regime thought or actions. This is what I have been trained to believe by my party leader and favorite media sources for years now.
It can't just be because these people commit crimes, can it....
"how much of a vapid walking word salad Harris actually is."
But the average MSDNC viewer will still vote for her because she'd be a 'first' - and voting for her would show how enlightened and anti-racist they are. The same reasons they voted for Obama.
Re: Kamala Harris and billionaires paying their fair share.
When the claim is made that teachers and firefighters pay more in taxes than millionaires/billionaires, there is some truth to that, however as presented it is highly deceptive.
It's a lot of smoke and mirrors.
The very rich don't derive their wealth from what's classified as "income", i.e., what the govt calls "wages and labor", which is what you see on your W2 every year. They get it from dividends and capital gains, which are taxed at lower rates. And they funnel monies through whatever businesses they own, which they write off as tax deductions. They might “pay” themselves a small salary which is reported on their W2, technically putting their personal income into a low tax bracket.
For instance, Oprah Winfrey owns a business, a huge conglomerate. She pays herself a salary of $9,000 per year. This is her "income" which is taxed at a very low rate since it's so small. Now, if the average teacher's salary is $60,000 per year, then yes, they get taxed at a higher rate than Oprah's $9,000 salary. This is the only truth to the claim surrounding the "billionaires must pay their fair share" mantra.
Otherwise, the rest of everything else Oprah earns is dividends, capital gains, and other monies filtered through her various businesses.
Say Oprah wants a new limo. She just buys it through her business, and Oprah, as an employee, uses it. Now, here's the beauty: She can expense the limo as a tax write-off for business, and also claim depreciation on an asset. It really is a great racket, just as long as you have a good team of accountants and tax attorneys working for you..
If billionaires aren't paying their fair share, why hasn't the team she's on done something about it already? Seems like she's campaigning against herself.
I wish someone would ask her what is on the menu at McDonald's. I doubt she'd know.
A small business set up as a corporation can do the same thing most family farms are set up as a corporate business construction companies also you name it and as they grow they incorporate
This "investigation" by the Harris and Biden administration sounds like an organized crime operation to me. Harris and Biden instructed the DOJ to go after an expendable low-ranking member to show how tough they are on corruption. Harris can now boast that she is tough on political corruption, whether your name is Donald Trump or Eric Adams. Was Adams having lunch with Biden when he received the news? Mario Puzo could not have set the scene any better.
The only thing missing from that scene would be Al Capone walking around the dinner table with a bat, giving a speech, and randomly choosing someone to bash their head in...
"Sunny day, stands are full of fans.... What does HE have to say? ..... I'm goin' out there for myself. BUT...... I get nowhere, unless the team wins!" ..... (whack whack whack bam)
They are playing hard ball while the press is playing wiffle ball. I don't know if Adams received any money from the Chinese, remember those police station, but he'll spend it all on lawyers. I wonder if Cohen is available?
It is said that voters tend to elect candidates that remind them of a respected grandfather, father, grandmother, mother, uncle, aunt, etc. I cannot figure out what respected family member Kamala Harris represents. Maybe a pet lizard?
Interesting how Turkey keeps popping up in these sordid events…
Wednesday Addams. I think your comment is not nice to Wednesday. Ha
Wednesday would take care of the problems.
Either Wednesday Addams, or she belongs on the set of "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice"..

Not surprised that MSNPC would be a softball interview, and not surprised that Harris would whiff it.

Well. You have tapped into her brain to come up with that. Well done.
Stalin's big trope was "Land Peace Bread".
Hitler's was "Freedom and Bread".
Mao Zedong's was "Serve the People".
Barack Obama's was "Hope and Change".
Joe Biden's was "Build Back Better".
All pretty similar to Kamala Harris' "A New Way Forward"...
Strength through Joy
Heh.....may as well be "arbeit macht frei"
The Trump campaign should loop this over and over on every network, especially BET and Telemundo. They should see what they would be getting.

Look for all the Left-wing media pundits today who will be saying that Kamala "hit it out of the park", or some such nonsense.

Democrats are just trying to gaslight everyone into thinking that Donald Trump has been in power for the past four years.
