Indivisibles,
Over the past few days, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have held campaign
events to detail their economic agendas.
At least, that’s what Trump’s handlers said he was going to discuss. But
Trump, not one for policy details, mumbled a few lines about affordability
against the backdrop of his $350k-to-join country club, followed by 80
minutes of incoherent ranting.
Vice President Harris, on the other hand, held a rally with Joe Biden to
announce new price limits on 10 life-saving drugs that will help save
Medicare billions of dollars and lower out-of-pocket costs for patients.
Then, she traveled to North Carolina today to unveil an historic, sweeping
economic plan to take on big corporations, lower costs for everyday
people, and build an economy that works for all of us.
Assuming you’re not a massively wealthy golf-course owner and you are
someone who buys groceries, rents or wants to own a home, and occasionally
needs to see a doctor, you’ll probably be interested in the details:
🏠 Creating affordable housing
* Build 3 million new homes and create new tax incentives for builders
who construct affordable units and starter homes
* Prevent corporate landlords from using algorithms to collude to raise
rents
* Block Wall Street investors from buying homes in bulk to resell at a
premium
* Provide $25,000 in down payment assistance for first-time homebuyers
🥕 Lowering grocery prices
* Pass the first-ever federal ban on corporate price gouging on food and
groceries
* Take an aggressive approach to proposed mergers that reduce
competition and hurt consumers among the biggest food producers
🏥 Cutting health care costs
* Expand the Biden administration’s landmark $35 price cap on insulin
for Medicare recipients to cover all Americans
* Crack down on pharmaceutical companies who block competition
* Work with states to cancel medical debt for millions of Americans
* Expand subsidies for Affordable Care Act plans that would save health
insurance customers an average of $700 on their premiums
💸 Building a fair tax code
* Raise the Child Tax Credit to $3,600 per child for middle class and
working families, and $6,000 for families with newborns
* Expand the Earned Income Tax Credit for workers in lower-income jobs,
cutting taxes by up to $1,250
* Eliminate tax on tips for hospitality and service workers making less
than $80,000
This is the future we can have -- one where everyday families don’t
struggle to meet basic needs and where the tax code isn’t rigged in favor
of the rich -- but only if we win in November. Indivisible is working
around the clock to make sure voters in the key battlegrounds understand
the contrast between these candidates. But we need your help.

While Harris is proposing a bold agenda for the future, Trump is promising
to drag us back to his failed policies. The one major piece of legislation
that he signed as president was a massive tax cut that overwhelmingly
benefited millionaires, billionaires, and massive corporations. Now, he's
proposing even bigger tax cuts for those at the top with the same empty
promise that the benefits will trickle down to the rest of us.
When it comes to tackling costs for everyday people Trump has no actual
solutions. In 2016, he campaigned on repealing the ACA and replacing it
with his own "beautiful" healthcare plan. Of course there was no plan, but
he still tried to repeal the ACA anyways. Eight years later he still
doesn't have any policies for lowering healthcare costs for the vast
majority of Americans.
Harris has a record and vision to run on. Trump has the same old lies,
empty promises, and failed policies. That's the contrast we have to draw
for voters between now and November, and we're doing it through
doorknocking, texting, phonebanking, and more.
