Why not remove it. Why should the rest of the country subsidize the liberal states that have the highest taxes. They vote in liberals who raise their taxes and there is little outcry because they can take them off their federal taxes — thus making the rest of us subsidize them. I think it is a great idea. The figure of $1.3 trillionover 10 years has been thrown out there that the Feds would recover — that’s $1.3 trillion that others are subsidizing states, especially liberal states.
“Why should the rest of the country subsidize the liberal states that have the highest taxes.”
Abject ignorance.
Everyone who itemizes will pay higher taxes, no matter what state they reside in.
It’s just that there are more high income folks in CA and NY. That’s the only reason those “states” benefit the most.
