Harris Vows EO to Repeal Trump Tax Cuts on 'Day One,' But ...

Kamala Harris has repeatedly vowed to repeal the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act “on Day One.”

Such a repeal of the Trump tax cuts would result in an across-the-board income tax increase, a Death Tax hike, a small business tax hike, take away the doubled child tax credit and the expanded standard deduction, and impose a 35% federal corporate income tax rate — a rate even higher than communist China and Maduro’s Venezuela.

This is mainly a rhetorical device, but it's still constitutionally ignorant. The tax cuts were passed by statute, which means that it will take Congress to repeal them. Harris has no authority to repeal them "on Day One" or any other day. That's not the ATR's point, which is mainly to contrast Harris and Trump on tax cuts. But it's still worth noting that Harris apparently hasn't ever taken a civics class ... or passed one, anyway.
