Tax Policy
A Winning Economic Agenda for the Harris-Walz Administration
08. 15. 2024
A Harris-Walz administration should promote policies to lower costs for families, expand economic freedom and tackle the affordability crisis.
Vice President Harris and Governor Walz are authentically positioned to champion the popular economic agenda and help voters see this Democratic ticket as the Administration that will build a fair economy that works for families, builds the middle-class and shifts power from corporations to communities.
The Harris-Walz ticket should champion the economic policies from the Biden administration that are both effective and incredibly popular with voters including:
- Shift Power from Corporations to Workers, Consumers, and Families: Double down on eliminating abuses and junk fees across sectors, support the Federal Trade Commission in defending the Noncompete Rule so working people have opportunity and mobility to pursue new jobs and create new businesses. Facilitate bold public investment into broken markets to ensure individuals and families have access to basic goods and services, like childcare.
- Make the Tax Code Fair & Bring Down Costs for Families: Reverse the lowest tax rate in decades for corporations, raise taxes on billionaires and reinstate the expanded monthly Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit. Dramatically expand access to these tax credits by building on the successful free public option for tax filing, implementing IRS Direct File for all 50 states.
- Promote Fair & Competitive Markets Across the Economy: Appoint, support, and fund effective merger enforcement, support agencies in challenging mega-mergers that make our economy less resilient, and encourage fair competition and innovation in the public interest with emerging technology like AI.
By focusing on these key areas, the Harris-Walz ticket can present a compelling, consistent, and popular economic agenda to the American people.
