Kamala Harris would increase payroll taxes

Published



Vice President Kamala Harris is on record calling for raising payroll taxes on workers. It’s further evidence that middle class households would pay higher taxes under a Harris White House.

The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee personally authored a post on Medium during her 2020 presidential bid endorsing the creation of two additional payroll taxes as part of her “Medicare for All” plan. In her plan, Harris proposes a 7.5% payroll tax on employers and a 4% payroll tax on households with a combined income over $100,000 to be directly withheld from an employee’s paycheck.
