“Why should a person in a low tax State pay for the person in the high tax State?”

This Republcian “tax reform” bill will cause taxes to rise for many middle class people who are unfortunate enough to live in high-tax states like California. That means, in general, republicans who live in high-tax states like California.

You aren’t denying that their federal taxes will go up (because they can no longer deduct their oppressive state taxes); you’re just saying it’s not a bad thing that this is happening.

I’m not saying or denying as I have no numbers. What I’m saying is that federal taxes are to fund the federal government. Deducting State taxes means that federal taxes are indirectly funding State taxes.

Please post the numbers.

There is no “unfortunate enough” involved.
There is making a decision.
Living in California isn't a genetic defect. It is a choice.
Been there, done that, moved away, haven't been back for 33 years except for a 3 day trip in 2013.
