How about working in your own state to reduce the tax burden? Get them to cut spending instead. You have a lot more control over that and this new tax bill gives you an incentive to do something about it.
The Feds tax income. Your state taxes property, which you pay from your income. Sounds like neither is double taxing you or both are depending on who you choose to blame.
My state isnt at all bad. In fact it’s chum food compared to the fedzilla. However taking away from me just this small deduction is yet another way that we the US taxpayer gets bent over and continues to feed the Fed piggy. When was the last time anyone heard, “you know what we spend too damn much and steal too damn much from the taxpayers.”
Because of the crippling fed tax policy I look for any legal way possible to steal back my money from Uncle Sam. States are not the problem, the problem is with the feds and anyone thinking the elimination of a “tax entitlement” is akin to a voluntary mutually beneficial monetary transaction for the greater good.
