state and local taxes and property taxes
The federal tax system should not be used to allow states and municipalities to raise their taxes.
These taxes are as high as they are partly because the federal tax system gives a break for having paid them.
The real reason for the dems opposing the changes is that to them, the tax system is sacred, up there with abortion and false charges of racism. The tax system takes money from those who earn it and gives it to those who vote democrat.
this is correct
I think it is wrong. See post 115.
