THE KAMALA HARRIS TARIFF DECEPTION. At every rally and public appearance, Vice President Kamala Harris accuses her opponent, former President Donald Trump, of planning to raise taxes on the people. This is how she said it at their debate in Philadelphia on Sept. 10: “My opponent has a plan that I call the Trump sales tax, which would be a 20% tax on everyday goods that you rely on to get through the month. Economists have said that Trump’s sales tax would actually result for middle-class families in about $4,000 more a year.”

At her big rally in Greensboro, North Carolina, last week, Harris said: “He wants to impose what I call a Trump sales tax on everyday basic necessities, which will cost the average American family nearly $4,000 a year.” At another rally in Charlotte, North Carolina, she said: “He wants to impose what is, in effect, a national sales tax. I call it a Trump sales tax because it will be a tax on everyday basic necessities, which the economists have measured will cost the average family nearly $4,000 more a year.”
