President Trump listened to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo complain Tuesday about a provision in the GOP tax overhaul that’s walloping higher earners in the Empire State, the White House said, but the president feels the Democratic governor should consider slashing state taxes as a path to relief.
Blue states like Mr. Cuomo’s still aren’t happy with a $10,000 limit — known as the SALT cap — the Republican tax bill imposed on the amount of state and local taxes filers can deduct from their federal tax bill.
The federal deduction tends to be more relevant to higher-tax states like New York and New Jersey, where upper-income earners are more likely to take advantage of writing the taxes off on their federal returns.
Mr. Trump heard the governor out in a private meeting at the White House, though said GOP reforms are a net benefit to the U.S. economy while places like New York need to change course.
“The president reiterated the negative impact that high taxes in states like New York have on hardworking families and job creators,” said Deputy White House Press Secretary Judd Deere

So Cuomo has to bend the knee before Trump, and beg for help. Sounds like Trump told him to get bent, cut your taxes, instead.
Socialists ask for higher taxes and are then surprised they get higher taxes?
Enjoy the suck!
Is “The Donald” still laughing?
Trump oughta know too. Oh, and Andy, about that new law where you say its OK to kill a newborn. Bad, really bad. Now GTFO and don’t let the door hit you in the ass.
Hey coomo: Choma! (Crimea River)
Hopefully Trump won’t budge on this. Even though he would save a lot of money.
And Trump told him to consider fracking. Fracking would be a huge help to the southern tier of western NY, and would of course result in large revenues to the state, as well as increases in income tax and sales tax revenues from all the economic activity and hiring that would go along with it. But Andy is too stupid to figure it out.
I hope he did advise him of that. It is true, and great advice, but Cuma would be fileted if he did that.
He is also malicious and evil.
Think about the evil of Democrat states. Fill your state with illegals to destroy the school systems, wages and social services. Then prohibit your state from participating in the energy boom. Chase wage earners out so the poor will keep you in power while you keep them poor. Kill babies. Satan couldn’t do a better job.
So Cumo doesn’t want to “soak the rich to help fund welfare and other national programs?
How reactionary of him.
What a sop to billionaires!
This is BS.
People LOVE high taxes.
Why do you think they keep voting for them?
If Cuomo was smart, he’d raise New York taxes EVEN HIGHER.
Then everyone would move there and he wouldn’t have a problem. :)
The Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty (II) was withdrawn from Senate consideration by Jimmah Carter. Suck it, Cuomo!)
IL Douchebag!
Ping.
That is nothing more than high tax states shifting their tax burden to states that tax their people less.
Really not happy that Trump even meets with the vile Andrew Cuomo.
It is rather strange that Democrats want the rich to pay more. Then the Republicans make that happen and they cry. Anybody paying over 10,000 for their property taxes are rich so this should make the Democrats very happy.
We don’ t need any more libtards here in Texas so they can go somewhere else.
