We face a choice between two presidential candidates who are widely disliked. Regardless of personal appeal, we will have one of them as President for the next four years. The more important question is: which one is more competent and capable of governing?

Kamala Harris supports increasing taxes, controlling prices, subsidizing home purchases, and taxing unrealized gains. An economically informed voter would recognize the negative impact of these policies: reduced employment and business activity, product shortages, bloated government bureaucracy, inflated housing prices, and the forced sale of assets to cover taxes. In short, these measures would harm the economy and the working class.

Donald Trump, during his presidency, demonstrated an ability to stimulate the economy and improve living standards for the majority of Americans.

Kamala Harris tends to evade questions about her policies and frequently emphasizes her middle-class upbringing rather than her plans. Meanwhile, Joe Biden campaigned as a moderate but has governed with far more progressive policies. Kamala Harris, along with figures like Tim Walz, align with this liberal agenda while portraying themselves as centrists. It’s likely that the same people who influenced Joe Biden’s administration will also shape a Harris presidency.

In this election, where both candidates are unpopular, the policies they represent should be the focal point, not their personalities. Voters should pay more attention to their track records than the empty promises of campaign ads.
