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.
I assume no moral superiority, you just don't like the fact that I pointed out that people who live in other than high-SALT states have ended up paying more in taxes under the 2018 tax cuts. That bursts your bubble of "Just work your butt off to get candidates who are not such leftists and dont blame the fed because your state has excessive taxes."
Or is pointing out your exact quote "rude" too?
