**[City, State] -** A viral TikTok video by social media influencer Zak Kimball (@zak.kimball) has sparked debate about the tax plans proposed by Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. Using Census Bureau data, Kimball analyzed which policy would benefit a typical middle-class family with an income of $75,000 and two children.
Kimball’s analysis, while not favoring either candidate, found that Harris’s plan would save the average family $761 in taxes compared to Trump’s. This advantage stems from Harris’s more generous child tax credit and higher standard deduction, offsetting the lower tax rates in Trump’s plan.
However, Kimball went further by incorporating the potential economic impact of Trump’s proposed tariffs on imports. Data from conservative think tanks suggests these tariffs could cost households between $1,700 and $4,000 annually. When factoring this in, Trump’s tax plan would actually burden the average family with $4,736 more than Harris’s plan.
Beyond taxes, Kimball also highlighted Harris’s proposals for healthcare cost savings and affordable homeownership initiatives, which he believes would further benefit middle-class families.
While Kimball’s analysis favors Harris, Trump supporters argue that his focus on keeping taxes low, particularly for businesses and high earners, would stimulate economic growth and benefit all Americans in the long run. However, critics contend that the proposed tariffs would significantly raise costs for middle-class families, negating the benefits of Trump’s tax cuts.
Kimball encourages viewers to research and understand the numbers themselves to determine the real impact of these policies on American households. He emphasizes that a data-driven approach is crucial for understanding the economic implications of each candidate’s plan.
