During last week’s presidential debate, Vice President Kamala Harris claimed to be the only candidate with a plan to help working-class people. But when given the opportunity to outline her economic vision, she avoided policy specifics, using red herrings about billionaires and big corporations. She claimed, for example, that the 2017 Trump tax cuts were “tax cuts for billionaires.”

This misleading rhetoric was meant to distract voters from reality — her tax plan would result in tax hikes for most people, whereas Republican tax reform reduced taxes for people of all income groups.
