“Tax Cuts”

This is the latest In Fact. Click the left arrow for earlier ones.

Kamala Harris claims that her economic plan “will give tax cuts to 100 million Americans.”

IN FACT, Harris’ so-called “tax cuts” are actually welfare benefits doled out by the IRS via two fraud-ridden programs. Here are the specifics of this ploy:

  • The only “tax cuts” in Harris’ economic plan are expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit and the Child Tax Credit.
  • The Congressional Research Service classifies the Earned Income Tax Credit and the Additional Child Tax Credit as “need-tested benefit programs,” along with other “major” sources of welfare like SNAP (Food Stamps), Supplemental Security Income, and subsidized housing assistance.
  • The U.S. Government Accountability Office lists the Earned Income Tax Credit and the Additional Child Tax Credit among the most fraud-addled federal programs, with respective improper payment rates of 33.5% and 14.5%.
  • The IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service explains that the “IRS no longer is just a revenue collection agency but is also a benefits administrator.”
