During an interview with MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle, Democrat nominee for president Vice-President Kamala Harris tried to refute Ruhle's fact-check that the tax cuts passed during Trump's term as president weren't only for the rich by explaining the math. "Okay, say there's an across-the-board 10% cut," Harris began. "The rich person making $200,000 a year saves $20,000, but the middle class person making $30,000 saves only $3,000. Worse, the person on welfare who doesn't earn any income gets no savings. I say, once someone earns more than a middle class income that person already has more than they need. They should be paying higher taxes so the government has more money to give to those who have no income."

Harris asked voters "to not get bogged down by the math of fiscal policy. Just look at how I was raised compared to Trump. He is the son of a billionaire. I was born in Oakland, the daughter of two Berkeley grad students. My father became a professor who taught at Northwestern, Wisconsin, Yale and Stanford. My mother was a cancer researcher. Like many middle class families, my folks split up when I was a child. My sister and I were shuttled back-and-forth between our two parents. There were the typical trips to visit extended family in India and Jamaica. When I was 13 my mother bought our first house, which I'm pleased to say is now worth over $900,000. I think when voters look at my life they'll see how similar it has been to theirs and realize I can be trusted to look out for their interests once I am elected the most powerful person in the world."

What goes unmentioned in Kamala's account is that her mother was the daughter of an Indian diplomat and her father an heir to a family of former slave holders. She attended pricey private schools and lived in pricey neighborhoods. In 2021, she sold her San Francisco condo for $860,000. She also sold the condo in Washington, DC that she purchased in 2017 when she was elected senator from California for $1.85 million and moved into the US Naval Observatory--the free housing provided to the nation's vice-president. She and her husband also co-own a $5 million a mansion in Brentwood, California.
