Video: Kamala Harris Literally Threatens to Unilaterally Confiscate Citizens’ and Businesses’ Private Property

In a resurfaced 2019 video, Kamala Harris outlined economic proposals that echo communist-style policies, sparking renewed criticism.
During her current presidential run, Harris unveiled a plan that many critics liken to Soviet-style price controls.
This isn’t anything new because during her previous her presidential campaign, Harris suggested that drug prices be controlled by the government, with rates set based on global market averages. but that’s not the worst part, she also threatened to seize patents from pharmaceutical companies if they didn’t comply.

That’s not how a free-market economy is supposed to work, but the giddy Harris didn’t care:

“My plan, as a candidate for president, on these drug prices is as follows: We are going to set drug prices based on fair market,” Harris said during a campaign stop in Iowa on Friday. “So, essentially what we’re going to do – and you can visit the website if you will, and if not, get you some documents – but essentially what we’re going to do is set drug prices so that American consumers are charged a price for drugs that’s the average price that’s being charged around the globe.”

But she didn’t think she needed Congress or legislation to tackle the problem, she’d just march in herself and use the enormous power of the federal government (emphasis mine).

“And there’s a huge difference, insulin being an example,” Harris continued. “The other thing is this, if people don’t want to cooperate with that, I’m also going to do the next thing, which is this: A lot of drugs, prescription medication, was born out of the federal funding for the research and development of that drug. Your taxpayer dollars.”

“So, for any drug where they fail to play by our rules, and if that drug came about from federal funding for what’s called ‘R&D,’ research and development, I will snatch their patent so that we will take over,” Harris continued.

Watch the video below:

She was asked the salient question, can you really do that? Hell yeah, said Kamala [emphasis added]:

According to the Washington Post’s Dave Weigel, somebody in attendance asked the obvious question: Can you do that? “Yes, we can do that,” Harris replied. “We just need the will to do that.”

Critics argue that Harris’s approach is a dangerous step toward communism, where government overreach could stifle free-market principles and personal freedoms.
