Both major party candidates want to keep taxes low for the vast majority of Americans .

Both favor efforts to produce more goods at home rather than importing them.

Neither has a plan to tame an ever rising national debt.

But their economic plans are also very different.

Harris wants to raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans .

The bottom fifth of households would get the most money, an estimated $2,355 .

The top 5% of households (those making well over $300,000 a year) would see a tax increase, with the top 0.1% paying an extra $ 167,255 .

For Mr. Trump , the biggest unknown is what he would do with tariffs.
