Why should Fedzilla subsidize the state taxes of any state?

Please please explain how this is even remotely conservative?

If you are indeed a pilot then you are in a union. This makes claims of being a capitalist kinda susceptible.

FWIW...we live in NYS. We own a home. We aren’t going to move out of state yet because we have a parent with Alzheimers.

We support ending the SALT deduction.

And as for getting PO’ed, we’re keeping our powder dry til we see what’s up for a final vote.

And I was right, you simply “don’t know!”

“...conglomeration of “shit balls” ... anathemas ..but they are the $hitty cards we’re holding today...”

HEheheheeh! Well put and so so true. We have to play the hand we are dealt right in real time and then replace the traitorous GOP establishment!! and keep the majority - just as you stated - this is the strategy and has been Bannon’s all along at Breitbart. MAGA!

“The GOPe destroyed or capped almost every measly tax deduction we had (mortgage interest, SALT taxes, medical expenses, student loans, employment tuition benefits, etc.) all so the GOPe donors and corporations could make out like bandits. And someone had to “pay for” their huge tax cut in a revenue neutral budget - you and me. They soaked the middle class.”


so everyone else should pay for your mortgage interest, your real estate taxes, your student loan interest, etc...

got it...

who pays higher real estate taxes- the middle class or the wealthy??? whose going to get hit the hardest???? thought so...

If this bill or something like it passes and is signed, what is the effective date of the changes?

Jeff,

Increasing taxes DECEASES federal revenue. There will be no net gain in Federal receipts because of this. Tax revenues are tied to whether the economy is growing or stagnant. Just look at the historical data. Federal receipts increase year over year unless there is a recession.. Tax rates are meaningless because the Congress has put all taxpayer on the right side of the Laffer Curve’s inflection point.

States should control their tax and spending. They keep raising States taxes because they will deduct off Federal Tax. It time to put an end to the madness and have the State deal with their own individual taxes.

Most people are so stupid they think INCREASING taxes will increase Federal revenue when in fact the opposite is true.

It ‘s hard to invest money in new plant equipment and infrastructure when your production facilities are in Mexico.

Increasing taxes NEVER begets an increase in revenues. Check the Laffer Curve.

Exactly. Communist States that raise taxes on their tax payers and depend on the Federal government to hide their raping of their tax payers by taking the Federal Deduction. These communist States will never stop until that dedication is eliminated.

I'm not ready to grab my pitchfork yet, since the bill has not even reached the Presiden't desk yet.

But if congress and the President screw us on this- and if President Trump reneges on his promise to ease tax burdens on everyday working people, then they are going to wish that tar and feathers was the worst that could happen.
