I’m an Economist: 5 Reasons I Believe Harris’ Opportunity Economy Will Hurt the Middle Class
Story by Yaël Bizouati-Kennedy • 21h
 
Vice President Kamala Harris rolled out her “Opportunity Economy” agenda on Aug. 16, one which she said will help the American middle class. Yet, some experts argue that some of the proposals could, on the contrary, hinder the financial wellbeing of these Americans.

 
“She believes that when the middle class is strong, America is strong. That’s why as President, Kamala Harris will create an Opportunity Economy where everyone has a chance to compete and a chance to succeed — whether they live in a rural area, small town, or big city,” according to her campaign website.

The agenda tackles a wide range of economic issues, such as housing assistance, lowering the cost of drugs and groceries, tax breaks, help for small businesses and for education costs, as well as support for workers and innovation, as GOBankingRates previously reported.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
