I never understood the state income tax deduction. Why should people in high tax states pay less in federal taxes? Why should the federal government subsidize high tax states like New York and California? The imbeciles who voted themselves entrenched Democrat leadership are at fault here.

Gee, I thought all these rich people wanted to pay more taxes.

The average NJ/NJ/CA/CONN person pays more in federal taxes than the rest of the country. How is the Federal government subsidizing them when they pay more to begin with?

Besides, what part of paying taxes on taxes do you not understand? Just because you are sending a check to two different places, still makes it a tax.

I get it, the grasping commie dems have raised taxes so high to begin with. That said...I’d be fine with eliminating SALT entirely. Make the rest of the country eat it as well. See who squeals more then.

Good.

Why should we, in New Hampshire, with no income or sales taxes be forced to subsidize rich folks in NY, etc., who, by electing leftists, have both taxes?

“Why should people in high tax states pay less in federal taxes?”

The deduction propagates Plank #2 of the Communist Manifesto.

Two Communistic thieving governments can steal more than one.

I never understood the mortgage interest deduction. Why should the federal government subsidize high home pricing anywhere?
