The problem with this free ranging debate is that it is a multi-factorial issue.
One factor that you are not considering is that in many of the high tax states services are covered as part of the tax structure such as garbage pick up, recycling pick up, bulk trash, leaf pickup and a host of other services & social service programs. People in the lower tax states have to pay out of pocket using already taxed dollars for these services.
Why is it equitable that people in the high tax states get to save the tax on the cost of those State/Local services by using pretax dollars and the low tax states don’t?
Money is wasted right & left on pork projects. The lack of fiscal responsibility, where the state taxpayers are sheltered from direct costs is what drives the process.
Everyone’s positions contain some truth but the bottom line is that the journey needs to begin & parts of it will be painful. The loss of SALT is necessary to begin winding down the bureaucratic, social justice, corrupt pay to play world the Dems created.
Good points . I pay from pocket for the services you speak. Good points here
A brilliant summation.
