In the coming days, Republicans in Congress will try to stampede their tax bill through the reconciliation process and towards President Donald Trump’s desk for signing. If they manage this, it won’t be because reconciliation has made the House and Senate versions of the bill somehow fairer; there’s no way that two horrific versions of “reform” alchemically morph into something even halfway decent. To the contrary: if they steamroll this plunderous legislation through, it will be so that they can deliver tax breaks, at any cost, to the wealthy conservative donor class, and, equally important, so they can stick it to affluent blue states and their residents.

Wait a minute - I thought raising taxes was good for the economy!
If double standard deduction doesn’t cover state taxes, it is time to MOVE.

Sounds like a plan to me.California’s newest New Deal can feature an income tax rate of 20%,a $3,000 a year car excise tax ($4,000 for hybrids and electrics)...
I thought we were s’pposed to secede and form a People’s Democratic Republic.

Takers NOT Affected...
As long as you don't move to a high property tax state (like TX, FL, etc.) and aren't paying a lot of out of pocket medical expenses (to include the monthly premiums). I see little way for retiree couples making less than $100k from avoiding a higher federal tax bill.
The issue—and there are serious issues with the various bills—is not because of President Trump but because of the “bedsheets” Byrd amendment requiring “reveune neutrality”.
Bedsheets Byrd is about to give many Americans a “blanket party” they’ll never forget.
Those types always act as if Republicans in Congress all got there some way other than being elected by Americans
The Taxifornia commies are worried about their ability to pay for their illegal welfare state. They cannot pay for it now and Moonbeam’s Sanctuary State is costing plenty which they translate into VOTES AND POWER and increasing debt. It is what DemocRATS do....
Yup.
stupid communistic articles like this are what people get when they read the SacBee, SFComical, SJMurkeyNews, or LASlimes
“There is a reason that residents of countries like Denmark or Norway tolerate high taxes. It isn’t because they have a particular Scandinavian gene that makes them immune from the frustrations they experience when a large part of their paycheck gets taken in the form of taxes. Rather, it’s because they clearly see the benefits they accrue as a result of the social investments such taxes facilitate.”
Norway relies heavily on revenue from green house gas producing North Sea oil.
We’re in the central coast of California and will retire in 10-12 years. To experience more personal freedom, I was thinking of moving to Texas but didn’t realize it was a high property tax state. Today somebody told me the opposite so thanks for the info. Maybe I’ll look at Nevada but damn, I will miss the coast.
Hey Ca! You raised your taxes not US.
Don’t expect us to pay for your pipedreams
DONT MOVE HERE!
structured to be a punitive and debilitating transfer of wealth from Democratic states to Republican ones. ......................... You mean the better run States Tovarish?
