Yes let me pay a tax on a tax. Republicans are ridiculous on this. I’m tired of subsidizing Alabama etc.

Simple solution. Flat tax.

10% on EVERYBODY. No excuses. No deductions.

Maybe only exception below poverty level.

What? The benefits of SALT go to high tax states, such as New York and California. Alabama subsidizes the high tax states since the reduction of federal tax in the high tax states has to be made up by taxing the other states.

But don’t take my word for it. This comes from the Tax Foundation, which provided the statistics for the article above.

The deduction favors high-income individuals who are concentrated in high-tax states. Six states—California, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Texas, and Pennsylvania—claim more than half of the value of the deduction.

You aren’t paying a tax on a tax. You have a federal and state tax rate - they are two separate things, just like sales and property tax are separate (and you can’t claim sales + the others even now). It is ridiculous you were ever able to deduct for other taxes or mortgage interest in the first place.

Why would you say you are subsidizing Alabama when they are an average State income tax?

If anyone will see an increase in their taxes it is the liberal States.

FU. Without the South, and their solid voting record, this country would be fully Communist by now you idiot. The South is saving the USA from itself.
