These are both forms of tax relief.

Right now we are trying to get tax cuts for the public, realizing this will expand government tax receipts.

Doesn’t cutting taxes for people in states that have an income tax, also free up money to help expand government tax receipts?

Yes, I do believe that tax cuts do help to increase home ownership, and home owners do spend a lot of money for upkeep and home improvements, sparking local economies.

I’m not sure that justifies one tax cut and undercuts another.

If we want more money in the private sector, all tax cuts are reasoned.

Then my question to you still pertains.  What is the intent behind deducting state taxes?  I doubt it is to encourage high state taxes to go even higher, but it has that effect.  If the purpose is to put money back into the taxpayer's pocket, then skip the middle man and don't take the money from the taxpayer in the first place.
