Over the past few weeks, Vice President and presidential candidate Kamala Harris has outlined a number of economic policy proposals her potential administration would enact. Some of these policies include price controls, subsidies for first-time-homebuyers, increases to the corporate income tax, and increases to the capital gains tax.
