Not true. Many of the high tax states (NY, CA, NJ, etc.) subsidize the low tax states in terms of federal revenue sent to Washington and money received back. Some states get back pennies on the dollar, some get back several dollars.
Further, by eliminating the deduction, there will be no incentive for localities and states to lower their tax burden on families. The families will simply be punished. If the GOP wants to play raw politics, this isn't the way to go about it.

Whaaaaa??!
It gives every incentive to cut state and local taxes! Reelection will depend on it.
