LIVE: Kamala Harris to propose $50K tax reduction plan for new small business, ahead of Trump debate

Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris will unveil a $50,000 tax deduction for new small businesses in New Hampshire today as she works to win over independent voters and Republicans skeptical of former President Donald Trump. The vice president will announce the plan in North Hampton, New Hampshire, as a measure to stimulate economic growth, a campaign official said. Small businesses are major employers and have created 70% of net new U.S. jobs since 2019, according to government data.

LIVE: Kamala Harris to propose $50K tax reduction plan for new small business, ahead of Trump debate

It's a good idea to help small business instead of the monster businesses

[BuzyBeeABC]

Why not? Who would be in opposition to a doable, feasible proposition that is good for everyone in the country?

[BrianTaylor]

Many hate VP Harris because she smiles and laughs. The haters ought to try it and don't be so down on life.

[whitseba]

🙌🏿🤝💯💯💯💙💙💙💙💙💙💙, I totally agree rich people should pay their taxes

[goldvideo]

Excellent speech and with specifics. Let's keep the pedal to the medal and vote blue and move forward as a country.

[warrennz]

Quite refreshing to hear a politician talk about actual POLICIES instead of whining like a spoilt child.

[edwarddilleyjr.]

I'm very satisfied with this you keep me updated Harris/ walz 2024

[byrolyn]

WE ARE NOT GOING BACK ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[KateLopez-jetp]

Harris has solutions! The pandemic devastated the world. We're bless to baunce back. We have money for other things, certainly we can squeeze in the American people.

[katluther]

"Fight for something..not against something." Kamala Harris

[smallcorvid]

Can't wait to have my business! Kamala is going to be a great 4 term president.

[FSMTheWin]

I like it! It's like... trickle down. Except instead of expecting the money to "trickle down" (despite all the evidence of the money trickling up instead) just put it right where it's wanted.

[Dancencamp]

Great speech by Kamala Harris. Harris's plans for helping small business get started are sound and will help stimulate economic growth and jobs in the US. While Kamala's proposed $50, 000 initial tax deduction for small businesses will initially reduce US tax proceeds, in the long run, the increased number and economic activity of small businesses will pay off by also reducing the US federal deficit and debit. Good plan!

[wolfmangoland]

Excellent Idea - small businesses are the backbone of a strong economy. Trump will oppose it because he is only for billionaires - not regular people.

[angelagaona]

Vote for Kamala Harris President ❤2024❤❤

[JoeMontenegro-dy]

Almost forgot how a president should talk

[michelangelobuonarroti]

Fantastic person and candidate. I've had enough of the orange conman and authoritarian.

[GrotrianSeiler]

She's incredible. VOTE! Vote blue for country. It's so important. 💙💙💙💙💙

[boomer]

Good luck getting it through the house. If we take it back it will fly through. If we don't then they'll smash it just to say we haven't done anything.

So many people here are opposed to helping small businesses, workers, families with kids, students, schools - but they are happy to support helping billionaires instead . I can’t understand: are Magats all rich and heirs of wealthy parents? Don’t they struggle? Don’t they need operations and medicine? Don’t they fill in forms to get child support and such? Who are these people to “feed” some very rich people instead of their own children and those of their neighbours? It’s beyond weird
