Trump and Harris Clash Over Tax Plans for Working-Class Voters

Former President Trump proposes tax cuts on tips, overtime, and Social Security, while Vice President Harris criticizes the plans as benefiting the wealthy.

• Trump's new tax proposals include eliminating federal taxes on tips, overtime pay, and Social Security benefits.
• Critics argue that Trump's plans will significantly increase the federal deficit and primarily benefit high-income individuals.
• Harris counters with her own economic policies, including a $25,000 financial assistance for first-time home buyers and a minimum wage increase.
• Both candidates face scrutiny over the potential long-term impacts of their proposals on the U.S. economy and federal budget.
• Polls show Trump having an edge over Harris on economic issues, but Harris aims to shift the narrative by emphasizing her middle-class background.
