Investor and Trump donor Paulson says market would ‘crash’ under Harris

Investor and Trump donor Paulson says market would ‘crash’ under Harris
SHARE

Hedge fund billionaire John Paulson recently expressed concerns about the potential impact of Vice President Kamala Harris’ proposed tax plans on the financial markets. In an interview on CNBC’s “Money Movers,” Paulson warned that implementing Harris’ tax proposals, which include raising the corporate tax rate from 21% to 28% and increasing the capital gains tax from 20% to 39%, could lead to a market crash and recession.

Specifically, Harris has proposed a 28% tax on long-term capital gains for households with an annual income of $1 million or more, a rate lower than the 39.6% proposed by President Joe Biden in his 2025 fiscal-year budget. Additionally, Harris has endorsed Biden’s plan to impose a 25% tax on unrealized gains for households worth at least $100 million, known as the billionaire minimum tax.

However, there are doubts about the feasibility of taxing unrealized gains, with some close to the Harris campaign, such as investor Mark Cuban, suggesting that Harris may not pursue this aspect of the plan. Paulson, known for his successful bet against mortgage bonds before the financial crisis, believes that taxing unrealized gains could lead to massive selling of assets and potentially trigger a recession.

While some Wall Street economists agree that raising the corporate tax rate could impact S&P 500 company earnings and share prices, there is skepticism about the extent of the market downturn predicted by Paulson. Additionally, concerns have been raised about the potential inflationary impact of Trump’s economic plans, including proposed tariffs and tax cuts that could widen the budget deficit.

Despite speculation that Trump has considered Paulson for the role of Treasury secretary in a second administration, Paulson remains optimistic about the economic benefits of lower taxes. He argues that targeted tariffs would not necessarily lead to inflation and that tax cuts could stimulate economic growth, ultimately helping to boost revenues and reduce the deficit.

In conclusion, Paulson’s warnings about the potential consequences of Harris’ tax plans highlight the ongoing debate surrounding economic policies and their impact on the financial markets. As investors and policymakers navigate these challenges, it is essential to carefully consider the potential risks and benefits of proposed tax reforms.
