Kamala Harris says she’s going to lower prices.

[otto105]

what is a price gouging tax? who makes the determine?

I am referring to Harris's Hugo Chavez style price control platform.

That pricing reference has no bearing on what is proposed or not here.

Ever heard of a windfall tax?

Wage & Price controls:
ALWAYS A DISASTER.
Companies and jobs will go away...

Harris’s plan will include “the first-ever federal ban on price gouging on food and groceries — setting clear rules of the road to make clear that big corporations can’t unfairly exploit consumers to run up excessive corporate profits on food and groceries,” the campaign said in a statement.

A prohibition for gouging is not "wage and price controls."

Here is what Kellyanne and I think of this idea:

NOT PRICE CONTROLS

Harris plans to direct the Federal Trade Commission and other agencies to investigate and penalize “big corporations” that violate the rules, and to find other ways of tackling price fixing and other anti-competitive practices in the food and grocery industries, her campaign said late Wednesday night.

Harris, in her speech, will specifically single out the highly consolidated meat industry, deeming its processing middlemen “particularly egregious” price fixers with a history of being found to have illegally controlled prices.

She also plans to direct her administration to carefully scrutinize proposed mergers between large food companies with an emphasis on considering whether they will result in higher grocery prices for consumers. That work would include continuing to examine the proposed merger between Kroger Co. and Albertsons Cos., which faces challenges from the FTC and several states.

The Harris campaign argues that her proposals “stand in stark contrast” to Trump’s economic agenda, which it said “would increase inflation and costs for middle-class families” by levying tariffs on imports of household goods including groceries.

I am not sure what you are “proposing” I am referring to Harris price control plan.

I have, it’s the tax on things like inheritance and lotto winnings. Completely off topic. Weird you brought it up

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

As opposed to a stolen valor coward who lied about his service.

YES.

Did someone deny you a tampon at your elementary school bathroom?

Someone must have, to you.
But you love your dear leader.........

As usual, you sidestep to another skedaddle

 

[HikerGuy83]

I was certain you would skedaddle when given the fact that increased oil output directly contradicts the Biden -Harris claim to eliminate fossil fuels.

Like Harris, Nuthin' Fancy is just going to not address it.

Simple strategy....pretend. It's what they do.

Like pretending Biden wasn't demented.

Like pretending Harris is Smart (and in control).

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

It only works if people are willing to pay for it. And if they are willing to pay for it, how is it gouging.

Nobody owes you anything.

Evidently..........They do.

Why are Trump and his cult whining about it?
For............FOUR years?

 

[HikerGuy83]

As usual, you sidestep to another skedaddle

If you can't win on one point, jump to another.

Move the goalposts.

It's what they do.

Uh no they don't. If they do, I'd love to see what it is.

Why don't you stop drinking, get off your bar stool, turn it rightside up, and get some rest.

You sound drunk and stupid. Not a good look.

What price is she controling?

Sorry, not the windfall tax is not on inheritance or lotto winnings. Hilarious answer BTW.

Also, I'm not proposing anything fuckup.

 

[SeaMajor7]

What price is she controling?

None yet
She's announcing that she wants to

 

[Hollie]

I am not kidding. She thinks she can do this, first. Secondly, these walking dunderheads never heard of bread lines?

It's in concert with her Soviet style totalitarianism.

Most states have anti-gouging laws.

You people never whine about them.

 

[SeaMajor7]

Most states have anti-gouging laws.

You people never whine about them.

High inflation from government overspending is not in any way indicative of private companies PRICE GOUGING.
This is another example of the demented Marxist LEFT LYING.

 

[Hollie]

Most states have anti-gouging laws.

Most anti-gouging laws are related to emergencies or times of natural disasters.

Stop whining.
