It doesn't though. She states what she wants to do, but not how she will do them. Because she doesn't know how things work. She says she's cutting taxes, but then talks only about child tax credits. Sorry, tax credits is not the same as cutting taxes, and the credits she's talking about doesn't help everyone, just parents and business owners. How will she cut taxes? It never says.
