Democrat Presidential Nominee Kamala Harris was the tiebreaking vote in a 2022 Senate bill to allow the IRS to track tips so they could be taxed. This has become an issue now because she has copied a Donald Trump proposal to drop taxes on tips. 

The tipping guidance was made possible by the Inflation Reduction Act, which did not do what its name suggests.

After this bill was passed narrowly in the Senate with Harris's tiebreaking vote, the IRS issued related guidance in 2023 to crack down on tip income.

It's a little convoluted, so maybe Harris doesn't even realize she's being hypocritical. She's obviously not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

They picked her . . . kind of

But then again, neither are the American people right now, based on who they picked as presidential nominees.

Harris wasn't actually picked by the people, but they picked Biden again knowing he was pretty much a vegetable and she was his successor.

Surely Harris is counting on people not being able to follow anything but the simplest reasoning, and the sad thing is, she's probably right.

Conservative media and candidates should take note: most voters won't understand anything complex.

If they did, Harris would be polling at about 30%. Instead, she's the trendy new candidate who is, for the moment, giving Trump a run for his money.

Don't worry, she will have to eventually open her mouth, which will effectively end her momentum.

Harris on taxes

Biden has always said he wouldn't go after households making less than $400,000 a year. We know he lied because the servers and hotel cleaners targeted by the IRS guidance are for sure not making $400,000.

But make note: Kamala Harris has not made any such pledge. And she probably won't.

Her pledge not to tax tip income is nothing but sleight of hand. She wants voters to look at her copycat proposal so you won't see how she plans to raise taxes in every single way she can.

How do I know this? The D after her name tells me everything I need to know.
