Kamala Harris pitches $50,000 tax benefit in bid to spur startups

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : Short of cash grants to new firms, providing tax deductions often has only a limited impact because companies tend to have only limited tax liability in their early years.
47% : Harris has thus far largely called for preserving the overall direction of Biden's policies, which have embraced a more aggressive role for federal intervention in the economy than his recent Democratic predecessors supported.
31% : Harris is eyeing the measure as a way to draw a contrast on economic policy with Trump, who has called for cutting the tax rate paid by corporations and maintaining lower tax rates for high-income individuals, along with other policies aimed at helping lower- and middle-class taxpayers.
22% : Trump has talked about lowering the corporate tax rate again to as low as 15 percent.
18% : The Harris campaign also released an advertisement Tuesday, its fourth focused on the economy, attacking Trump for aiming to give tax cuts to corporations.
