CNBC: Kamala Harris likely to win election, despite Trump being better on inflation, economy: CNBC CFO survey

Kamala Harris likely to win election, despite Trump being better on inflation, economy: CNBC CFO survey

Corporate America is preparing for a Kamala Harris presidency, according to a CNBC survey of chief financial officers, though they'd prefer

55% of business Chief Financial Officers believe that Harris will win the presidency!

Only 31% of them think that tRump has a chance of winning.

This follows another survey - of top economists & money managers - that forecasts the same thing!!

Not so strangely, some CFOs think Rump would do 'better' on inflation (55%), interest rates (38%), tax policy (24%) & regulation (also 24%).

Obviously, these folk have 'forgotten' how ruinous the Rapist Con Man's economy really was - or, these CFOs only care for Rump's promised 20% tax cut.

They also seem not to care that every new tRump economic promise has been found to lead to higher inflation & higher taxes for the rest of America!!

Need we remind these CFOs that we're not in an inflationary period right now...

All of the high prices on goods were imposed by the Republikkkans' allies - illegally inflating the cost of things.

The Rump's 'thoughts' on trade & tariff policy are not only stupid (tariffs are passed on to customers) but, also harmful to the U.S. economy...

tRump only offers tax incentives to corporations & expects everybody else to pay for the cuts!

Harris, however, released an 82 page economic blue print for strengthening the middle class & offering tax credits to union companies.

Harris does call for corporate taxes - but, it's nothing that they should have any problem paying.

After all, these same companies can afford to pay their top leaders with big payoffs when they retire - let some of that money help our communities...

Harris sees that America's economy is stronger when the middle class is well payed & working under union contracts.

The businesses now providing Harris with high profile support - see that she's actually to the center of the political divide.

Some 80, mostly former CEOs recently endorsed Harris & her business plans.

These business leaders agree that corporations should pay their fair share - as a way of investing in new industries, bringing costs down & helping out small businesses.

This will make our economy strong & it will also benefit more people - something most rich folk don't care about...

tRump's response, to Harris' plans, is to offer corps the expansion of research & development tax credits - again totally forgetting lower level workers!

Democrats agree with these credits & want to add child tax credits to the deal.

But, they lack the votes to pass this important tax cut thru the Republikkkan controlled House.

The CFOs in this survey are also planning to build new factories in America.

Yet, are worried about the expiring of the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act - coming up in 2025.

Definitely something for Harris to work on if she does win...

Cause her win is a win shared by most of us.

End?
