“Harris is proposing policies like raising taxes on corporations and creating new tax credits, while Trump promises to institute new tariffs and to cut taxes on certain businesses. There’s not a lot the two agree on, other than a proposal to eliminate federal taxes on tips.
As president, both candidates would struggle to make their promised changes unilaterally as taxation is controlled by Congress, not the executive branch. Neither party seems on track to make the type of huge House or Senate gains a president would need to ram their agenda through Congress, and it’s possible control continues to be split between parties, a recipe for gridlock.
That makes these plans more about demonstrating an economic philosophy to voters than anything else.”

- Set the capital gains tax rate at 28 percent

- Increase the child tax credit for all parents, including giving new parents a $6,000 credit
- Eliminate certain taxes on tips
- Ensure no tax hikes on individuals making less than $400,000″
…
“Trump says he plans to:
- Slash some corporate taxes to 15 percent
- Institute a tariff of up to 20 percent on all imports (except those from China, which would have a 60 percent tariff)

- Get rid of taxes on Social Security benefits
- End taxes on tips”
