JD Vance slams Kamala Harris’ brand new policy positions, rebuts each point one by one

Vance went through the policy proposals in a detailed thread on X, saying, "It has been 50 days since Kamala Harris became the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party. In the dead of night yesterday, she finally released her campaign policy page. Here's what I think of it." Two main topics of concern were the border and the economy, two key issues for voters.

Vance said Harris' proposal to "cut taxes for middle class families" would actually raise taxes on the middle class instead of cut back on taxes.

"IRS Audits for working families: Getting audited is a horrendous experience, even if you’ve done nothing wrong. Harris cast the tie-breaking vote to hire 87,000 IRS agents to audit more people. As recently as last summer, 63% of new audits fell taxpayers earning less than $200,000" Vance said.

Vance added details about how under the Biden administration has increased reporting requirements for business to fill out a 1099k form for transactions costing more than $600 on a third-party payment platform. The vice-presidential nominee wrote, it's hard "to pretend that taxing working men and women isn’t their focus when you think about the reporting requirement Biden-Harris signed into law to require businesses to fill out a 1099K form on transactions over $600 made using third-party payment platforms. The reporting threshold before their bill was $20,000."

Vance summed up her economic policies, saying that the Biden-Harris administration has consisted of a "massive wealth transfer from working people to the Green New Deal’s constituencies," with Harris being the tie breaking vote on the Inflation Reduction Act. Vance said that reality of the bill was that it was a massive climate change spending bill, which has been admitted by President Joe Biden and other high-profile Democrats, and didn't reduce inflation.

Harris announced that she wants to "secure our borders and fix our broken immigration system." Vance noted that her "record tells a different story." Harris was tasked with handling the border and migration in March 2021 but her office quickly walked that back, saying it wasn't her job. Now she claims she will tackle that job.

As Attorney General of California, Vance wrote, Harris wrote "a 2015 letter to the US Senate defending California’s sanctuary state policies and opposing a bill that would penalize the state’s noncooperation with federal immigration law."

Harris has supported the "bipartisan" border bill that Vance says will allow "up to 1.8 million illegals to enter before the border could be closed" and "gives billions of taxpayer dollars to the same NGOs that are driving the invasion and expands the executive parole powers used by Biden instead of limiting them." He added that the bill's author, Sen. Chris Murphy, previously stated that under his bill, “the border never closes.”

On housing, Vance took aim at the Harris camp's proposal to hand out $25,000 subsidies for first time home buyers, saying, "What she [Harris] fails to leave out is that this would likely raise the average home price by the same amount, making her plan moot." Vance added that the assistance may not be limited to citizens as well under Harris' plan, possibly subsidizing the home purchase of those in the country illegally.

In regard to small business, Harris claimed that she would "take on the everyday obstacles and red tape that can make it harder to grow a small business" in her policies. However, Vance rebutted, saying that the "SEC has promulgated at least 47 rulemakings, the majority of which have not been mandated by Congress, and we've seen Treasury enact burdensome compliance regulations, with some even aimed at small businesses, like the Administration's preferred implementation of the Corporate Transparency Act."

Vance also slammed Harris for her policy section that claimed she would “support service members, veterans, their families, caregivers, and survivors.” Vance noted that Harris has never spoken to any of the Gold Star Family members whose children died at the Abbey Gate bombing in Afghanistan, though she was the "last person in the room" when the the Biden-Harris administration were figuring out how to leave Afghanistan.

“Kamala Harris never once bothered to pick up the phone and call those families. Kamala Harris never once supported an investigation into the decisions that led to Abbey Gate. If Kamala Harris cared about veterans, she would have demanded accountability. She didn't,” Vance added. He also slammed Harris for the administration’s foreign policy failures in the Israel-Hamas war as well as the Ukraine-Russia war.
