What utter BS. The reality is that big states with lots of roads, schools, population, etc etc require more taxes than states that are basically rural. To punish those of us who live in these states is insanity. This writer is a complete idiot if they think states will start lower taxes because they are no longer federally deductible they are nuts. This article and moron thinkers like this goofball are what bring conservative principles into disrepute.

Wealthy taxpayers receive the bulk of the deduction.

That's because they pay most of the taxes

Low taxes are bad state policies. So say the Communists who want to control the Proles.

Taxing money that’s already been taxed is double jeopardy, IMHO.

Sure, I understand the joy of screwing over NY and CA and IL residents, but the fundamental idea of double taxation really strikes me as wrong. It’s a two wrongs to correct a right sort of argument.

The problem with tax program modification is that while you can make it more efficient and less perverse, you are basically shuffling chairs on the top deck of the Titanic unless you cut spending. Finding angles to fund the spending is what makes the tax level too high, and greasing the squeaky wheels is what makes the tax code full of complexities and special loopholes. Cut spending, and a lot of the tax-side problems go away.

Politically impossible, but I can dream, can’t I?

Both of my homes are mortgage free. My only deductions of merit are property tax and state income tax. My son is about to vacate house #2, so I will rent it for enough to make the tax and maintenance a wash. If it's not going to be a deduction, it doesn't need to be a liability either. I pay state income tax to CA, ID and sometimes NE. That's because my company tracks the hours I work in each state and collects state income tax for hours worked in a given state. ID is my state of residence. Filing CA and NE often cost as much for the software and filing fee as I get in refunds.
