N.Y. Gov. Andrew Cuomo airs 'SALT' concerns with Trump

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

Wealthy New Yorkers now have to pay their fair share of the FULL COSTS of Democrat/Liberal tax insanity, and they are fleeing the state instead, now that low-tax flyover states are no longer subsidizing via SALT.

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!

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.

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!

Why should Cuomo and friends be concerned about money people fleeing NY?

They'll be making boatloads of cash from the baby parts they'll be selling from those almost born abortions he just signed off on...

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!)

That is nothing more than high tax states shifting their tax burden to states that tax their people less.

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.
