The former President Donald Trump is set to grace the Economic Club of New York, where he intends to unveil his pro-growth economic strategies for a potential second term. The comparison to JFK’s 1962 address might cause some in the left to tremble, especially given the haunting memories of tax cuts triggering growth – something Democrats conveniently forget while they push for more taxes faster than they can say “planned economy.”
While Trump prepares to present a compelling case for slashing taxes and deregulation, the current Democratic field, led by Vice President Kamala Harris, is firmly planted in the taxation camp. Harris is peddling a parade of tax increases even as the economy falters under sky-high inflation, coupled with federal deficits that would make even the most ardent spenders blush. If her proposals were any more outlandish, they might need a warning label for economic irresponsibility.
Trump will give a speech at the Economic Club of NY like JFK did, and there are even more similarities between their ideas on taxes.@StephenMoore @RealDrGina @Dbrodyreports @TBatesNews

Larry Kudlow, a familiar face from the Trump administration, took a swing at predicting the content of Trump’s address. He emphasized that Trump’s core message will focus on urgently needed supply-driven economic growth – a refreshing change from the usual handouts and government control that defines the Democrats’ playbook. This approach claims to lift everyone from middle-class citizens to young entrepreneurs up the ladder of success, proving that the American Dream is still alive if you’re willing to encourage businesses to generate jobs rather than suffocate them with regulation.
In a previous rally, Trump emphatically outlined his vision for the economy, listing how America could see low taxes, reduced regulations, and minimized energy costs. Instead of deploying a strategy of fiscal negligence akin to Harris’s, Trump aims to shift the environment of fear from one of financial burden to one of abundance. This common-sense approach would allow hard-working Americans to afford essentials like groceries and home ownership.
Kudlow isn’t just focusing on rhetoric – he’s making a solid case against Harris’s proposals to impose price and rent controls that only serve to exacerbate affordability issues. The Vice President’s desire to raise capital gains taxes and corporate tax rates would essentially revive failed policies that push businesses to leave the country while ending hopes for any kind of economic recovery. Historically, the Trump tax cuts resulted in a substantial increase in federal revenues. When will those crafting tax policy in Washington learn that reducing tax rates can actually lead to increased revenue?
The historical evidence is undeniable. From Kennedy’s revelations about tax rate reductions to Reagan’s successful economic policies, fiscal conservatism has proven time and again to foster economic growth. Instead of Elliot Ness, Harris seems to be playing the role of Al Capone, intent on robbing the American people of jobs in the name of increased government revenues. If anyone thinks that her plans will rival the success of past conservative administrations, it might be time to check their economic vital signs.
