Sen. Kamala Harris has a reputation as a prosecutor who cut both ways. Similarly, her positions on economic issues ranging from affordable housing to Wall Street have elicited muted praise — along with some caveats.

As Joe Biden’s choice for vice president, Harris, a California Democrat, shares many of the former vice president’s economic priorities, but she has also shown a willingness to go her own way or reach into the more progressive end of the party’s toolkit on a broad array of financial and economic hot-button topics.

“I think her policy perspective is very consistent with the need to help hard-pressed households that have been slammed by the pandemic,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics. “I think she’s focused on the right things."

1. I think that dynamic works well

The presidential candidate leans towards the middle. The VP is more progressive and can push the envelope.

We need to move in the right direction by winning and then expand our control by delivering to average people.

3. Roll back the tax giveaways alright.

Let’s see the marginal rate go back to 70% or more. Enough for the oligarchy.
