He warned, “I’m not going to speak for the vice president, she makes the final decision.”
Still, “I’m talking to these folks three, four times a week, having back-and-forth conversations, and their verbatim words to me is, ‘That’s not where we want to go.'”
“We need to find alternative sources of revenue,” Cuban stated Harris’ assistants have actually informed him, “and those alternative sources of revenue are meant to replace what the unearned income — the unrealized gains tax from the Biden plan would have implemented.”

Cuban’s statements might signify an additional break on tax obligation plan in between Harris and President Joe Biden, that quit of the governmental race in July and supported the vice head of state as his follower.
Biden’s financial 2025 budget strategy recommends a 25% minimal earnings tax obligation on Americans with riches over $100 million.

Harris, that took control of the Democratic ticket much less than 4 months prior to Election Day, has not clearly dumped the strategy to tax obligation latent gains.
In a speech Wednesday presenting even more of her financial plans, nonetheless, Harris stated she sustains a “billionaire minimum tax.”
Harris, stated Cuban, is “starting from the Biden plan as a starting point, but that’s not necessarily her ending point.”
The Harris project did not right away react to’s ask for discuss Cuban’s statements.
Harris, whose inceptive project has actually looked for to attract modest citizens, on Wednesday drifted far from the Biden spending plan’s strategy to increase the resources gains tax obligation to 39.6% from 23.8% for families making greater than $1 million.
Harris’ strategy would certainly rather raise the leading lasting resources gains price to 28%. The Harris project in a news release Wednesday kept in mind that that number is “well below the rate proposed” in the Biden spending plan.
“In her view, this approach strikes the right balance,” the project stated.
