If you weren&#8217;t such a superficial and insincere politician, people might almost feel sorry for you after your clueless appearance on the &#8220;Call Her Daddy&#8221; podcast that aired Sunday. Almost. Vice President Kamala Harris, leading the Democratic presidential ticket, faced significant criticism for her performance on the provocatively titled podcast, but one particular moment stood out where neither she nor host Alex Cooper seemed particularly insightful. As is often the case with Harris in similar situations, things began to unravel when she was asked about practical public policy. <\/p>\n<p>The viral moment highlighted by Mike Palicz from Americans for Tax Reform showcased Harris&#8217;s inability to distinguish between start-up funds and tax deductions. He noted on social media that it was evident she did not understand what a tax deduction is and repeatedly claimed that &#8220;$5,000 isn&#8217;t enough to start any small business.&#8221; She seems to believe her policy involves giving $50K to small businesses.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, Harris appears confused about how tax deductions function. While I may not be an expert in explaining them (unlike Kamala), I know they won&#8217;t assist in starting a business. If she&#8217;s suggesting large government checks for businesses\u2014considering how COVID relief payments disrupted the economy\u2014does Team Kamala really understand what handing out tens of thousands of dollars would do? <\/p>\n<p>Moreover, while $5,000 can certainly help launch a freelance venture, it&#8217;s unclear what&#8217;s more troubling: her belief that this media tour is beneficial or her apparent lack of understanding regarding her own policies. It&#8217;s one thing to have flawed policies; every politician has them at times. But it&#8217;s entirely different not to grasp basic principles of your own proposals.<\/p>\n<p>This incident raises concerns about who would truly be in charge if Harris were ever in power\u2014it might not be her but rather whoever crafted these policies for public consumption<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2351877,"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\/10\/Harris-Call-Her-Daddy-Interview.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[34402,36155,32438,32171,39559],"class_list":["post-2351876","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-economic-policy","tag-government-accountability","tag-kamala-harris","tag-political-commentary","tag-tax-plan"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Harris-Call-Her-Daddy-Interview.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2351876","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=2351876"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2351876\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2351877"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2351876"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2351876"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2351876"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
