Kamala Harris and the ‘Fair Share’

Original Article

Posted By: DW626, 10/7/2024 7:35:04 AM

A PAC supporting Kamala Harris runs an ad that features Harris making the following impassioned statement, “We are helping dig families out of debt by telling billionaires to pay their fair share!” The commercial presents this exclamation as Harris’ “reason for running” for office, but does not explain what it means. Some of the audience tries to guess what this statement means while Harris’ supporters do not care and will vote for her regardless of what she says. Those who care to understand must speculate for an explanation. To whom will “billionaires” pay this undefined “fair share?” We can guess that she is talking about paying taxes.

Have you ever heard Kamala define the term “fair share”? One thing is for sure, anytime in the past where the Democrats have raised taxes, the increase in taxes have always ended up falling on the vast middle class, as the much smaller billionaire class has access to the best tax accountants and tax lawyers who make sure that the billionaire class only end up paying the least amount of taxes required, after all the tax deductions, exemptions, and loopholes are taken into account, and the billionaires and their accountants and lawyers are sure that they will be paying by their definition whatever they believe is their true “fair share” that will be greatly diminished from the bogus “fair share” that Kamala has been laying out there to low information prospective voters.

Yep. Fair share is a fuzzy, unworkable, class warfare term. For most of us, fair share means someone else needs to pay more to feed “Audrey” , our carnivorous and growing government.

So the people running the PAC or Kamala Harris must not pay attention to their taxes when they have them done. . .

Nobody ever demands that people do their "fair share" of work and good deeds to earn their way through life. Why is that?

The top 20% already pay 80% of the taxes. They got rich by providing goods and services the masses would not have otherwise. The investment funds to do almost anything comes from the top 20%. The political system is financed by the top 20%. Who would you rather work for: the top 20% that pay more, or the other 80% that pay minimum wages. The only tax the bottom 50% pay is the inflation tax, which is hidden, and they aren't smart enough to realize that nothing is "free". The fair share tax is a communist term made famous by Ayn Rand in her book Atlas Shrugged, which describes perfectly the fair share society and its confiscation of the work of the productive.

@ #2 - In all fairness to Kamala, et al., not one so-called journalist ever asks her or anyone else in this Admin any tough, probing questions. Peter Doocy has his moments but like every other reporter out there. They are simply unable to ask a straightforward question without a one-two minute soliloquy beforehand.

Biden/Harris ran on having the rich paying their fair share in 2020. If Joe and Kamala could not achieve that goal in their 4 years, what makes you think Harris will do it with a second chance? File under past behavior is the best indicator of future performance.

So, more than a decade ago Warren Buffett commented how his secretary paid more in Federal income taxes than he did. How could this be? She was getting a salary which is taxed like most people. Warren earns his income from capital gains which is a much lower amount. So, the comparison is apples and oranges.

Would someone ask her who pays what now? Break it down by economic status. How much do the 'rich' pay now? Do all citizens have skin in the game? Does she even know?

After impregnating his children's nanny, and getting accused of slapping a girlfriend so hard she "spun around," Kamala Harris's hubby, Doug Emhoff, has now been accused of being his company's office 'a******," a foul-mouthed bully who treated the women he worked with like dirt. So much for that mild-mannered milquetoast persona he presents to MSNBC. According to the Daily Mail: Kamala Harris's husband was 'inappropriate' and 'misogynistic' at work, his former colleagues tell DailyMail.com. Attorneys who worked with Doug Emhoff at his former firm Venable say he yelled expletives, held a men-only cocktail hour in the office, revoked work perks from women who didn't flirt with him

Kamala is a good-for-nothing on at least three levels. First: she is literally “good for nothing.” Her career is littered with failures. Even a distinguished black journalist dared to observe, at great professional peril, her “failing up” the career ladder. Craig J. DeLuz, writing for the Washington Times, bravely concedes that, “An elected official with a track record of failure spanning her entire political career, Harris has consistently been rewarded with promotions by left-leaning voters.” Among her many inadequacies, Mr. DeLuz notes that Kamala was the most left-leaning member of the Senate, all the while achieving the following – nothing.

About a week after Hurricane Helene first made landfall in the Southeast, Kamala Harris took a break from her fundraising events and staged photo ops at the border to travel to Georgia to address the federal government’s response to the storm that ravaged the people of the South. Lost everything to Hurricane Helene? You may be eligible for a one-time $750 payment for the basics. After that, you’re on your own. (As a reminder, after the fire in Lahaina, Maui residents received only $700.) I seem to vaguely remember a phrase coined by a high-profile Democrat…now what was it? Oh that’s right, “insulting crumbs.”

There’s nothing like having your life flash before your eyes to bring clarity and, as people watch Harris and Biden in action, that clarity is bringing real fear. One of those people facing that fear is Gordon Sondland, the former U.S. Ambassador to the European Union during the Trump administration, who testified during Trump’s Ukraine impeachment and disavowed him after January 6. Despite Sondland’s deep dislike for Trump, he fears Harris more.

There is a hot new play currently running off-Broadway in New York. From the website: “Fatherland is the true story of an 18-year-old son who turned in his father to the FBI for his militant role in the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol. Fast-paced and powerful, Fatherland has landed off-Broadway following a sold-out Los Angeles run which the LA Times hails "will leave you shaken." This compelling tale is told verbatim from public statements, case evidence, and official court transcripts from the explosive trial that ignited a media frenzy and grabbed headlines nationwide.”

We give our police officers extreme power. We provide them with the right to arrest us before we are convicted in court or even indicted by a Grand Jury. We give them guns and qualified immunity to use those firearms. Now, in Tim Walz’s Minnesota, a non-citizen Muslim from Somalia has all those special rights. I’ll assume Somali-native Officer Lesly Vera is a good woman. Now 23, she emigrated legally when she was four. Although she has been here for 19 years, we wonder how much of America she really understands, and respects.

An Ohio police chief says his access to Springfield’s police radio frequency was cut off after the beleaguered city became a political lightening rod over its Haitian immigrant crisis. Tremont City Police Chief Chad Duncan told Blaze News’ Julio Rosas that Springfield has fallen into “absolute turmoil” since being inundated with up to 20,000 Haitian nationals, and said the lawlessness is spreading to nearby towns, including his own. Tremont City is located approximately eight miles north of Springfield.

So, the Chicago White Sox looks like not just the worst team to date in the 21st century but in baseball history, too. As the seasons end, summer fades, and autumn leaves begin to drop, the White Sox are on their way to recording the most losses in the history of America’s National Past Time. Normally, most baseball fans root for records to be broken. Think of Hank Aaron breaking Babe Ruth’s home run record, a mark that stood until Barry Bonds bested Aaron (although we still don’t know if performance-enhancing drugs made the difference)

New Zealand’s navy has suffered its first peacetime ship loss since World War II when the $100 million multi-role support vessel HMNZS Manawanui ran aground off the southern coast of Upolu Island, Samoa, caught fire and eventually sank—triggering an environmental disaster in the process. With all 75 passengers and crew evacuated, the vessel’s loss brings fresh scrutiny to the leadership under its openly lesbian commanding officer, Commander Yvonne Gray. The Manawanui, originally built in Norway and repurposed for New Zealand’s Royal Navy with a substantial $103 million investment, was conducting a seabed survey mission when it hit a reef, according to maritime news outlet gCaptain.

And that matches what teachers are seeing.

The Post found an all-volunteer operation being run out of a Harley-Davidson dealership with ruthless efficiency and military precision. “Who’s FEMA?” ex-Green Beret Adam Smith derisively responded when asked about the agency’s presence on the ground since the deadly storm ravaged the rural western part of the state.(Photo) “This disaster has definitively proven without a shadow of a doubt FEMA’s incompetence and incapability,” he said, noting that the agency

On Friday, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled that votes cast for a pro-ranked-choice voting constitutional amendment in the 2024 election will count — even though nearly 38,000 signatures supporting the amendment proposal were duplicates. In its decision, the Grand Canyon State’s high court rejected a challenge seeking to have votes cast for Proposition 140 voided after a lower court special master disclosed that 37,657 pairs of signatures gathered in support of the measure were duplicates. As previously argued by the Arizona Free Enterprise Club (AZFEC), the finding “place[s] Proposition 140 thousands of signatures under the constitutionally required signature threshold to qualify for the [November] ballot.”

Of all the results from the latest I&I/TIPP poll, the most unsettling has to be that voters think Kamala Harris is at least as much of a fiscal and economic conservative as Donald Trump. Our latest poll, taken of 997 likely voters, finds that more voters say they trust Harris (who’s already announced $4 trillion in tax hikes) than Trump to cut taxes by a 48%-45% margin. Among the crucial independent voters, the margin is even greater – 49% to 36%. That’s not all. More trust Harris to bring about energy independence, 48%-47%. Trump is essentially tied with Harris on growing

The president’s hot temper and penchant for profanity has been reported before, with Politico revealing in October 2021 that Biden regularly f-bombed West Wing aides in meetings,

"It is about political gamesmanship, instead of doing the job that you took an oath to do, which is to put the people first."
