Harris wants to raises taxes on businesses and high income individuals to, in theory, pay for plans, but the nation must first dig out of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/musk-sounds-alarm-deficits-biden-spending-america-oblivion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$2 trillion annual deficit<\/a> hole created during the Biden-Harris administration.<\/p>\n<p>  <script> \t\t\t\tif( ! getCookie( 'ff_subbed' ) ) if( typeof FFADS.replace_ict !='undefined' ) if( FFADS.replace_ict ) eval( FFADS.replace_ict ); \t\t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>And keep in mind, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/south-dakota-lowers-unemployment-to-pre-pandemic-levels-after-state-rejected-lockdowns\/\" title=\"South Dakota Lowers Unemployment to Pre-Pandemic Levels After State Rejected Lockdowns\">raising taxes<\/a> on job creators tends to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-looks-to-lift-oil-sanctions-on-venezuela-while-shunning-u-s-energy-companies\/\" title=\"Biden Looks to Lift Oil Sanctions on Venezuela While Shunning U.S. Energy Companies\">hurt economic growth<\/a> and therefore federal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/harvard-us-treasury-economists-forced-admit-trump-tax-cuts-worked-advertised\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">revenue<\/a>.

Faith in the promise of America: freedom, opportunity and justice. Not for some, but for all,&rdquo; Harris added.<\/p>\n<p>The verse she quoted from, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Luke%201%3A67-&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Luke 1:68<\/a> in the New International Version apparently, does not say faith has the power to shine a light on those living in darkness and lead them into peace. Only Jesus Christ does.<\/p>\n<p>The context in Luke, chapter 1 is the priest Zechariah prophesying about his son John the Baptist, who he foresaw would grow up to preach about<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/amazing-jesus-revolution-reported-iran-mosques-close-muslims-turn-christianity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Jesus<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him, to give his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins, because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace,&rdquo; Zechariah said.<\/p>\n<p>So Harris is preaching the gospel of salvation through government, trying to use a Bible passage about Jesus Christ to do it.

In her address to the Quadrennial Session of the General Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in Columbus, Ohio, last week, she stated, &#8220;We are just 10 weeks away from the election, and I know you are already working hard&#8230; organizing souls to the polls and ensuring your members are registered and prepared to vote.&#8221; She emphasized that this is &#8220;the most consequential election of our lifetime,&#8221; highlighting a choice between two distinct visions for America&#8217;s future.<\/p>\n<p>Harris outlined her vision which includes leveraging federal power to promote home ownership, provide &#8220;affordable&#8221; healthcare and childcare, and eliminate childhood poverty. However, these plans seem costly for a government already facing multi-trillion dollar deficits. To fund these initiatives, Harris proposes increasing taxes on businesses and high-income individuals; yet first, the nation must address the $2 trillion annual deficit incurred during the Biden-Harris administration.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to note that raising taxes on job creators can hinder economic growth and subsequently reduce federal revenue. A higher tax rate does not guarantee increased tax revenue if economic growth stagnates or new jobs aren&#8217;t created.<\/p>\n<p>Adding frustration to her message was Harris&#8217;s use of a Bible verse taken out of context as justification for expanding government. She quoted from Luke 1:68 in an attempt to convey that faith can illuminate those in darkness and lead them toward peace. However, this passage actually refers specifically to Jesus Christ&#8217;s role in salvation through John the Baptist\u2019s prophecy about Him.<\/p>\n<p>Harris seems to be promoting salvation through governmental means while misapplying scripture about Jesus Christ\u2014a move that many may find sacrilegious. Her overall message appears more aligned with communistic ideals: reliance on government for equal material outcomes (like housing and healthcare) without acknowledging God\u2019s role at all. It might be more prudent for Harris not to quote scripture if she intends it inaccurately<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2335762,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/kamala-5.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[39931,32438,39932],"class_list":["post-2335761","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-bible-quote","tag-kamala-harris","tag-sacrilegious"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/kamala-5.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2335761","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2335761"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2335761\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2335762"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2335761"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2335761"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2335761"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
