From the Urban Dictonary--Virtue-Signaling: To take a conspicuous but essentially useless action ostensibly to support a good cause but actually to show off how much more moral you are than everybody else.

I stand by my use of the word.

One pays taxes on their adjusted gross income. If your taxes are increased by "x" because you are not longer allowed to deduct "y", it really doesn't matter whether "y" is excessive or not, you are paying more in taxes.

Many of us don't live in high SALT states, I, for example, live in Missouri, not exactly a high-SALT state.

I, too, remember when one could deduct interest on car loans and credit cards. So what? The issue is, did the 2018 tax cuts "hurt" some people. For some of us, the answer is "yes, yes it did." Does that mean we will change our vote next time? For me, the answer is "no".

You are rude and I stand behind that. Your assumed moral superiority is more silly than superior.

Paying more due loss of deductions is not the same as having your taxes raised(%) even though the end result is you pay more. Words do matter yours and mine.
