From the piece...
Payroll-tax shift: Alternately, states could make employers, not employees, responsible for remitting taxes on income.
The sound you hear is the massive roar of thousands of moving vans revving up to get tax-paying people and businesses out of these bleau-yuk states.

Exactly right, housing costs in those localities are completely out of whack.

But New Jerseys Leonard Lance was particularly vocal among blue-state Republican House members in arguing that state and local taxes should have remained fully deductible, noting that reducing that deductibility meant the tax overhaul was picking winner and loser states, curtailing federalism by interfering in local decisions about levels of public-service provision, and effectively double taxing residents income.Translation: Big spender states and municipalities should be subsidized by the frugal low-spending states and municipalities. Hey, you make your choices, and you PAY for your choices! I do not want to pay for your choices!

The old law “favored” one group. The new law “favors” a different group.
And someone says this is “unconstitutional”? How?
This stuff happens far too often. It is a quirk of politics and the legislative process.

Once again the left wing Market Watch has to stir up nonsense.

In the 1970s, Colorado Springs was paradise! Pickups had gun racks, crime was low, and weather was perfect!

lulz..... Thankfully I don’t live in a NY or California with a crazy high state income tax. New Hampshire has no sales tax or income tax. The difference is made up via higher property taxes, though the state is run lean anyway.
Thus New Hampshire taxpayers have been subsidizing NY and California taxpayers. Other states too. Some states have lower income taxes so at least there is some sanity.

State-run charity: The new law puts a cap on state and local income-tax deductions but not charitable donations. I believe a characteristic of DONATIONS is that they are voluntary. That would be quite a change.

Thanks SeekAndFind.
As New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo put it just before Christmas, announcing a plan to encourage New Yorkers to prepay 2018 property taxes, I say this is an economic civil war. Not North and South over the issue of slavery [but] an economic civil war pitting red states against blue states.
