Kamala Harris calls for scrapping Trump tax law: 'Get rid of the whole thing'
https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/442408-kamala-harris-calls-for-scrapping-trump-tax-law-get-rid-of-the-whole-thingSen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), a 2020 Democratic presidential contender, called for the total repeal of the 2017 tax reform law Monday, saying the U.S. should “get rid of the whole thing,” according to Bloomberg.
Harris made the remarks after an American Federation of Teachers (AFT) event in Detroit, setting her apart from several competitors for the Democratic presidential nomination who have only called for a partial repeal of the GOP-backed law. A total repeal would eliminate some of the law’s more popular provisions, such as doubling the standard deduction and increasing the child tax credit, according to the report.

“On Day One, we’re going to repeal that tax bill that benefited the top 1 percent and corporations,” she said.
Harris’ campaign spokesman Ian Sams told Bloomberg that the California Democrat would look to replace the 2017 law with the LIFT Act, legislation she has proposed that would involve nearly $3 trillion in refundable tax cuts primarily affecting the middle class.
