Friend,
In last week’s debate, Kamala Harris
confronted Trump over his “concepts of a plan” for healthcare in her
closing remarks.
She
told the millions of Americans watching that night: “Donald Trump doesn’t have a plan for
you.”
What Harris
failed to mention is… she doesn’t have a plan for you,
either.
If you scroll
through the issues section of the Kamala Harris 2024 website, you’ll
find a platform thin on details and thick on sweeping promises to
those who are already financially stable – like tax credits for
first-time home buyers and handouts to already-financially-stable
entrepreneurs.
But
that’s not the reality for the majority of Americans who don’t even
have enough savings to withstand a $400 emergency.
That’s why my team and I have put together a
comprehensive economic plan that will fundamentally
reorder our economy and center the needs of working people
FIRST – policies that will
directly put money in your pocket.
When Harris talks about “strengthening the
Affordable Care Act” she means adding more processes and loopholes to
allow you to pay for increasingly expensive, functionally unusable
private health insurance plans.
By contrast, our
healthcare plan is very simple: We will expand Medicare to cover
EVERYONE as a stepping stone to a true national healthcare system.
No deductibles, no copays, no
mandatory minimums. Just healthcare.
Harris’
plan for housing is no better. Her proposal for a tax credit for first time home buyers sounds
good on the surface – until you wade through a laundry list of caveats
and qualifying requirements.
For example, to access her benefits for first-time-homebuyers,
you first need the disposable income to front the money for that “tax
credit.” Of course, that’s assuming you’re in a position to buy a home
at all, something that is nowhere near the reality
for over 100 million Americans trapped in an exploitative rental
market increasingly controlled by corporate
landlords.
OUR housing policy includes repealing
the Faircloth Amendment to immediately expand the construction of
quality public housing – with
five times as many housing units as the Harris plan proposes. Our
plans also provide guaranteed tenant protections to MILLIONS of
renters, including universal rent control, reining in excessive rental
deposits, and clamping down on corporate
ownership.
While the
Harris “plan” for workers involves corporate investments and
“incentivizing” employers to treat people right, OUR
labor plan has concrete plans
for a mandatory federal living wage of at least $25 an hour,
strengthening unions, and a vast expansion of worker protections that
lower your costs and increase your take-home
pay.
The bottom line is this: neither Donald
Trump nor Kamala Harris has anything more than “concepts of a plan” to
provide material relief for you and your family.
You
can read our platform and see for yourself all the ways in which our plans put money
right back in your pocket with direct policies prioritizing the needs
of working people.
We
are down to the last six weeks of this campaign, and there are still
tens of millions of undecided voters. We need your support today to
reach voters across the country who are looking for real, concrete
solutions with a clear vision for collective human thriving. Can you
donate today?
In solidarity and gratitude,
