Kamala Harris Panders for Votes using an idea pushed by REPUBLICAN Ron Paul years ago and since June 9th (2024) by Donald J. Trump. Now, like magic, Kamala [since Saturday the 10th of August, 2024] is saying the same. I finish with a February 2023 video.
NO NEW TAXES – LOL
RIGHT SCOOP slams Kamala as the KHAMELEON she is:
Flip flopper Kamala Harris has just been exposed after she stole Trump’s promise to prevent tips from being taxed by the IRS.
As we reported, Harris told a crowd on Friday that she wanted to “raise the minimum wage and eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers.”
But now, as Breitbart reports, Vice President Kamala Harris actually cast the tie vote in the Senate to allow the IRS to ensure that tips are being taxed in order to grab as much tax revenue as possible:
On August 7, 2022, Harris cast the tie-breaking vote to pass the Inflation Reduction Act that provided $80 billion in additional funding to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which then got to work cracking down on the service industry’s reporting of tips so that they could be taxed.
“Two years ago today, I proudly cast the tie-breaking vote to pass our Inflation Reduction Act,” Harris’s Facebook account reminded the public on Wednesday, sharing a video of the vice president voting to pass the legislation.

This is just another example of Kama Kameleon doing one thing and then saying the opposite just to get elected.
JUST THE NEWS has this story that fits well in here.
…. “[I]t’s quite a transformation when you think about all of the different positions that she’s flip-flopping on right now, whether it is a mandatory gun confiscation program, whether it’s Medicare for all, whether it’s now she does want to be the border czar, and has some ideas on how to stop the invasion that she has unleashed,” Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley said on the “Just the News, No Noise” television program.
“I think the key question you’ve got to ask: ‘is she now saying that the Harris Biden administration has been wrong on all of these key issues over the last four years, or is she saying that there’s an election coming up and we need to go pander to the voters?’” he went on.

“No tax on tips”
Trump announced his “no tax on tips” plan during a campaign rally in Las Vegas in June. The move appeared to resonate with service industry workers and Harris ultimately endorsed the same idea in August.
“It is my promise to everyone here that, when I am president, we will continue our fight for working families of America, including to raise the minimum wage and eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers,”” Harris said at a rally at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas.
“How long will it be before Kamala Harris comes out with another TRUMP policy [?]” Trump responded. “Everyone is waiting to see what idea, or policy of mine, she will copy next.”
Harris’s adoption of the policy signals more than mere imitation. Rather, it stands in direct contrast to the Biden administration’s ongoing efforts to boost compliance with tip reporting for taxation purposes. Harris cast the tie-breaking vote for the Inflation Reduction Act, which explicitly taxed workers’ tips.
The Department of the Treasury in 2023 introduced the Service Industry Tip Compliance Agreement (SITCA) program in order to “take advantage of advancements in point-of-sale, time and attendance systems, and electronic payment settlement methods to improve tip reporting compliance.”
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Monday indicated that Biden “supports eliminating taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers” and would sign legislation to that effect, according to the Daily Mail. ….

Purging the Czar
NEW YORK POST notes:
Kameleon: “She would not ban fracking,” Harris’ campaign told Politico. “Trump’s false claims about fracking bans are an obvious attempt to distract from his own plans.”
The truth: Donald Trump’s claims were not false. During the 2020 presidential campaign, Harris said repeatedly she wanted to ban the gas and oil extraction method, which has become an economic lifeblood of Pennsylvania and other states.
“There’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking,” she said during a CNN discussion.
Kameleon: “Harris’ campaign also confirmed … that the vice president no longer supports a single-payer health care system,” wrote CNN.
The truth: That’s quite the 180 from the candidate in 2020 who was asked if you would be able to keep the health insurance you have under a Harris presidency.
“Let’s eliminate all of that,” she said. “Let’s move on.”
Kameleon: “We know that our immigration system is broken, and we know what it takes to fix it,” Harris said in Las Vegas this past weekend.
The truth: Harris has never wanted to fix it before, she wanted to throw the whole thing out. She favored getting rid of ICE, and even said that crossing the border illegally was no crime. “We’re not going to treat people who are undocumented who cross the border as criminals,” she said.
It’s not even fair to call this one a flip-flop, it’s a straight-up lie. Harris’ one clarification on what was “broken” was that we needed an “earned pathway to citizenship” — which will reward the people who came here illegally.
Kameleon: As far back as 2020, Harris’ press secretary brazenly claimed, “Joe Biden and Kamala Harris do not support defunding the police, and it is a lie to suggest otherwise.”
The truth: Except she absolutely did. In the summer of 2020, Harris said that “we have to take a look at these budgets,” suggesting police were overfunded. She “applauded” Eric Garcetti, the mayor of Los Angeles, for defunding the LAPD.
Kameleon: Last week, a Harris spokesperson told the Washington Examiner that Harris “no longer supports a federal job guarantee, an idea championed by some on the Left and Green New Deal proponents.”
The truth: She not only backed the Green New Deal, she wanted to break the Senate to get it passed. “I am prepared to get rid of the filibuster to pass a Green New Deal,” she once said.
Kameleon: Harris has claimed now she stands shoulder to shoulder with Israel.
The truth: Except when she refuses to attend the prime minister’s address to Congress. Or she criticizes how Israel has responded to Hamas’ terror attacks.
Aaron David Miller, a former Middle East peace negotiator, told the Wall Street Journal: “There is the inner Kamala, of a different generation than Biden whose empathy and sensibilities run deeper than the president’s when it comes to Palestinian suffering. Then there is the outer Kamala, the moderate pro-Israel Democrat who for political reasons when it comes to Israel needs to color between the lines.”
