KAMALA HARRIS’ RECORD AND STANCE ON ISSUES September 10, 2024
HOW ARE WE TO KNOW WHAT SHE STANDS FOR?
There is no issue information on her website. [NOTE: Yesterday (9/7/2024 she posted issue information on the issues. It is covered in Her Stance on Issues point 7 below]
She has one interview since the start of her run for president (after 39 days of nothing) and then it was pre-recorded and included her running mate.
She has not had a press conference or town hall meeting since she given the candidacy (52 days ago)
She participated in zero primaries in 2020.
She participated in zero primaries in 2024.
The Hill says, “The voters may have to wait until Harris is elected to find out what she will do.” Brent Bosell III, founder of the Media Research Center says it is unbelievable that a Vice President, who for over three years was considered inept in her job, literally overnight was made the greatest thing since sliced bread by the Democratic machine.
Mark Penn, Democrat strategist and consultant said, “If there is no information, if there is no debate, if there is no challenge in a primary, then there is no democracy.” WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT HER? [NOTE: The asterisks (*) indicate elements of Marxism.
Her actions as Vice President:
She casted the tie breaking vote in the Senate for the $1.9 trillion America Rescue Plan, and the $788 billion Inflation Reduction Act) primary spent on climate change initiatives) which incited and perpetuated inflation which ultimately exceeded 20%, increased mortgage rates by 4.45%, and added $ 1 trillion in annual interest payments on the national debt.
She signed off on the poorly conceived withdrawal from Afghanistan which fomented Russian and Iranian aggression leading to two wars (as she put it, “I was the last person in the room.”) She like Biden did not accept the counsel of their military advisors.
She fully supported the administration’s war on the fossil fuel industry resulting in America’s loss of energy independence.
The administration capped to cost of insulin for seniors at $35/month and the extended Trump’s child tax credit, and invested in Green Energy
*She advocated and promoted Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
*She supported the Biden/Harris Department of Justice to weaponize their legal powers against political opponents.
*She mismanaged the southern border allowing over Ten Million illegal immigrants to come into our country unvetted.
Her Border Policy – of which she was Czar – includes:

Twice the Supreme Court had to rule that the Executive branch could not forgive Student Loans without Congressional approval.
10. Foreign Policy:
With Biden, removed sanctions on Iran and paid them to stop development of a nuclear bomb. Both enriched Iran and their proxy terrorists throughout the world, particularly against Israel.
Has turned a blind eye to BRICS – a world trading group with an objective of displacing the dollar as the world’s reserve currency – and the collation of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea as a military enemy.
She seeks a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine
The administration provided arms and munitions to Ukraine and Israel,
11. Executive Branch Appointments
Of the top seven people in the Biden administration the total years of business experience is 14 years (an average of 2 years/person). To our knowledge she sought no outside consulting before casting the tie breaking votes in point 1 above. There were plenty of people forecasting inflation if passed including previous secretary of treasury in the Obama administration, Lawrence Summers.
Her actions as U.S. Senator:
She co-sponsored the $93 trillion Green New Deal with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes.
She co-sponsored Bernie Sander’s $32 trillion socialist health care takeover bid.
She was found by an independent organization to be the most progressive Senator in Congress – Left of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.
She instituted bail funds to bail out radical violent protesters in the 2020 riots
She supported defunding the police, wants to reimage them
Prosecutors are supposed to prosecute criminals so as to protect the innocent, not to assist criminals from being prosecuted as Harris did, e.g., with the 2020 rioters and illegal aliens.
Her platform in 2020 for her failed presidential run included:
The Green New Deal
*Decriminalizing Border Crossings, e.g. it would not be illegal to cross them.
Citizenship for illegal aliens
*Medicare for All
A ban on Fracking
A Federal Job Guarantee
Her stance on issues – current and past 1. Healthcare:
She seeks to eliminate all private health insurance.
*She seeks to establish free healthcare government health insurance for all.
2. On Taxes:
Repeal Trump’s tax cuts which would result in a massive tax hike for middle-income families
Increase corporate income taxes from 21% to 28%.
*She plans to institute a tax on “unrealized” capital gains.
*She is looking to increase taxes by $5 trillion, so tax rates will have to increase, primarily on the wealthy.

$25,000 down-payment assistance for first time buyers for an estimated four million households.
$40 billion fund to help local governments increase low-cost housing.
$6,000 tax credit for families with new babies.
*Price Controls on Food [Note: See Kamala and the Economy commentary in segment 11]
*Rent Control [Note: Rent control has also been tried many times and has proven to be unsatisfactory. It only favors renters who get there first and punishes new renters and the property owners. Since the cost of utilities and maintenance go up with time and the property owners can’t recoup the costs because of the controls, the property degrades, so those benefiting from the controls are also negatively impacted.]
4. On Electric Vehicles:
Harris has pledged to have the country 100% electric vehicle by 2045. Her plan in getting there is via government regulation requiring automobile sales in the U.S. to have minimal capability to get 58 miles/gallon by 2035 and 90 miles/gallon by 2045 if they are gasoline powered.
5. Harris supports:
*She is a strong proponent of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion).

*Limiting Free Speech via censorship by the government so as to reduce “hate speech” particularly as perceived by those oppressed.
Reparations for slavery.
Death row inmates right to vote.
Student Loan forgiveness.
*1619 Project – Rewrite of American History
Ending sales of gas-powered cars
Confiscation of assault weapons (and potentially all guns)

Personal Characteristics
She has a 92% turnover rate in her staff – of the 47 she started with, only 5 remain.
She has referred to 18-to-24-year-olds as idiots – living in dormitories with dormitory counselors.
At a large CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) gathering she called for banning the terms “Islamic Extreme Terrorism,” and “Illegal Aliens.”
As a California Prosecutor
She denied any prosecution of Catholic Priest pedophiles
She instituted a law, as Attorney General, that theft up to $950 is only a misdemeanor and would not be prosecuted as part of Proposition 47 passed on November 4, 2014.
In 2010, Harris’ DA office had to dismiss over 1,000 drug cases due to a scandal in the police crime lab, with Harris taking “full responsibility for the failure.”
She actively prosecuted marijuana users. Then when she got to the Senate, she co-sponsored a bill to make marijuana usage legal and admitted that she had smoked it.
Biden/Democratic Contemplated Initiatives It is unknown if she favors packing the Supreme Court to get more favorable rulings – a Biden stated objective. It is unknown if she favors doing away with the Electoral College and our voting system – A Democrat stated objective. It is unknown if she favors granting statehood to Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, as Chuck Schumer advocates.
THE PROGRESSIVE STORY: The introduction to segment 13 stated that equity, collectivism, censorship, open borders, and weaponization of government were already in evidence in the movement by the progressives to establish Marxism in our society. The above clearly indicates that Kamala Harris is in complete agreement if not an advocate. The fact that she is advocating wealth confiscation (tax on “unrealized” capital gains, a $5 trillion tax increase on the wealthy, and a wealth tax), price and rent controls mandated by the government, and universal health care strongly indicates she is planning to massively increase Marxism further in our society, if elected.
