Robert Hubbell was outraged by the editorial in The Washington Post attacking Kamala Harris’s economic plan. The editorial said, basically, that her plans to help the middle class made no sense.

The Washington Post Editorial Board, which works for billionaire Jeff Bezos, thinks it’s a “gimmick” to give families with newborns a tax credit in the first year of the newborn’s life.
Billionaire Jeff Bezos thinks it’s a “gimmick” to expand the child-tax credit, the single most effective measure for lifting children out of poverty in three generations…
