Donald Trump has released his economic plan, as president, to revive the economy by reducing the capital gains tax and reducing the corporate tax rate from 21% to 15% for all businesses manufacturing their products in the U.S. This would attract foreign corporations to come to America and manufacture their products here to take advantage of the low 15% tax rate and avoiding the stiff tariffs on their products made overseas. This would create more jobs for Americans.

As president, Trump would appoint an efficiency commission, headed by Elon Musk, to eliminate government waste. According to economist Stephen Moore, this would save an easy trillion dollars per year. Also, Trump has unveiled his plan to eliminate taxes on overtime pay. This would benefit millions of American workers.

Trump’s plan is in sharp contrast to Kamala Harris’ plan to double the capital gains tax, which would destroy investments in America and raise corporate tax rates from 21% to 28%, which would result in American corporations moving their manufacturing overseas, off American shores, to escape the high corporate tax rate, resulting in the losses of thousands (or millions) of American jobs. A disaster for the American economy.

Harris has never addressed cutting the massive waste in government spending.

During the presidential debate, Harris lied continuously and moderators David Muir and Lindsay Davis never called her out. Harris claimed she never supported banning fracking and drilling and banning plastic drinking straws or that she never supported mandatory gun buybacks (confiscation). Yet there are videos of Harris stating she supported mandatory gun buybacks and banning fracking, drilling and plastic straws. Fox News and Newsmax has frequently ran said videos of these and other Harris flip flops (lies).

Harris lies, videos don’t.

Donald Trump pointed out since she flip-flopped before the election, she will flip back after the election.

Also, during the debate, Harris never accounted for her part in covering up President Biden’s cognitive decline over the past three years. She lied to us about Biden’s mental acuity as veep, saying he was fine.

How can we trust her truthfulness on anything she says as president?

If there was one takeaway from the debate, it was that Harris is willing to lie and say anything to be elected president.
