If you're a fan of the hit TV show “Pawn Stars,” you're probably familiar with Rick Harrison, the guy behind the Gold & Silver pawnshop in Las Vegas. But recently, Rick has been making headlines for something other than his TV show – his vocal support for Donald Trump and his criticism of Kamala Harris's economic policies.

During a recent Trump rally in Las Vegas, Rick took the stage and didn't hold back. Despite being asked to speak just minutes before going on, he was ready to share his thoughts. “Not once in the history of the world has a country been taxed into prosperity,” he said, warning the crowd about Harris's potential tax hikes. “Socialism doesn't work,” he added, drawing cheers from the audience.
Rick’s main concern is that Harris and the Democrats want to micromanage people’s lives from “cradle to grave.” For him, it's all about keeping the government out of our way and letting Americans make their own choices.

He even told a personal tale about his son, who tragically died from fentanyl overdose recently. To Rick, at least some of this tragedy could be attributed to the lax border policy of the present administration.
However, he also emphasized Trump’s support throughout his difficult period. “The day after my son died, Trump called me. Biden didn't,” he said, demonstrating his allegiance to Trump.
Despite his reality TV fame, Rick's passionate political stance shows he's not afraid to speak his mind. He's convinced that Nevada – and the country – will rally behind Trump in the upcoming election.

However, Harris's economic plan includes both tax cuts and tax hikes. She wants to bring back and expand tax credits like the Child Tax Credit, which could give families with newborns up to $6,000 per child. One of her proposed policies is also increasing the tax break for startup expenses from $5,000 to $50,000. As she put it, “It's essentially a tax cut for starting a small business.”

On the other side, she plans to raise the corporate tax rate from 21% to 28% and increase the tax on companies buying back their stock from 1% to 4%. For people earning over $400,000 a year, she's proposing a higher income tax rate of 39.6%, and for those making over $1 million, she wants to tax long-term capital gains at 28%.
Harrison let his dry humor shine through during his short speech when he joked about Kamala Harris's promises. “I love it when Kamala Harris says on day one she’s going to do this and this and this, when, you know … just do it, you’re there already. I mean, like, literally, you could go into the White House and do it, and Biden wouldn’t even know you were doing it,” he quipped.
