Harris Plan Would Bring Tax Increases for Richest 1% and Cuts for the Bottom 99%
"The contrast between Harris and Trump on taxation could not be more clear," said the executive director of the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy.

This isn’t Harris “play[ing] the tax card”, the article isn’t even referencing anything her campaign said.
FTA:
The new analysis from the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP) follows its in-depth examination of Trump's tax proposals, which the group found would cut taxes for the richest 5% of Americans and raise them for everyone else.
And directly from ITEP’s “Mission & History” page:
ITEP is a non-profit, non-partisan tax policy organization. We conduct rigorous analyses of tax and economic proposals and provide data-driven recommendations to shape equitable and sustainable tax systems.

Based on the “equitable and sustainable” piece, ITEP probably slants left, sure, but I’d say that’s far more owing to conservative tax policy having no basis in being equitable or sustainable for the past four decades at least.
That all being said there’s literally no reason to make this a dig at Harris, because, you know, the article isn’t referencing anything she or her campaign has publicly said…

Cool. Except the thing is I never said this wasn’t Harris’ plan. I said that the article is about an independent review of her plan, and therefore she’s not “play[ing] the tax card”. I would agree she’s “play[ing] the tax card” if she was making a big deal of this all of a sudden out of nowhere, but that’s not happening here.
Woah now, it's SO much easier to make a dig at anything when you refuse to challenge your own, and your friend/family's, personal views.
Oh fuck off, go vote for a nazi why don't you

You are such a pitiful victim, grow the fuck up
You know, it's people like you, that I secretly do wish that Trump would win.
That’s all it took? Folks like that dude who, what, called you out on jumping the gun before getting the facts? Where’s your conviction and integrity?
Yeah, you’re allowed to critique who you’re voting for and people can critique you for sloppy rebuttals.
What a snowflake lol
"I'm going to vote for Trump because someone on the internet was unkind to me"
Why is it always the Trumpists who pull that pathetic victim card, pretending they were nervously holding back their vote until some internet meanie liberal pushed them over the edge and forced them into voting for Trump out of spite?

Repeated civility issues, plus an ableist slur in a single thread. Temp banned, 3 days.
There's a lot deleted here so I may have missed it but I'm just curious, what would you prefer her to say? Like you are totally right that politicians famously make promises they don't keep but would you prefer her to just say nothing? Or to say the opposite? The other guy has a plan that will increase taxes/costs on everyone but the top 5%. Is that better? Should he also not say anything?
