California is a sanctuary state, welcomes the Dreamers, wants health care for illegal aliens. The chickens have come home to roost.
But it’s already clear that one provision disproportionately hurts high-tax states like California, New York and New Jersey”
So California, New York and New Jersey should vote out the sons of bitches that make their states a high tax state.
Greedy, inefficient, incompetent states hit hardest
They can fix that by doing away with state taxes
The chances of the removal of the property tax deduction being in the final bill run the gamut from hardly any to none at all.
Hey I thought the rich in California wouldn’t mind paying higher taxes come on Cher, Rosie, Debra Messing, etc..open up those wallets and let the dough fly
This high-taxed Pennsylvanian is feeling very betrayed.
We gave tipped the election for Donald Trump and this is our thanks?
Gonna need to invest in a truckload of K-4.
Doubling the personal deduction takes care of it for most people.
It will affect me but, whatever. ..
The man is a genius, force Califoreignia to drive their producing taxpayers and businesses out of the state.
Nahh, just punishes the rich, the middle class will benefit from the reduced corporate taxes and the economic boom it will bring. Sure, they’ll miss that tax deduction (as well as likely others.) But I’m going to guess in the overall scheme of things, most taxpayers would rather a lower local and state tax bill than being able to deduct it on federal taxes.
Why are they crying? CA has been targeting Trump since day 1.
Sounds like a rehash of the earlier article from the LA Times.
There are a lot of conservatives in California who loathe and despise the scum that are in office via voter fraud. If you doubt that, look at the counties that are RED and who voted for Trump. Not everyone can pull up and move. And, the question is where to run to! There is no state that is perfect and without Liberal human waste. Texas has Liberal scum in Austin and Houston! What state is totally free of Liberals?
This provision will not pass to a final version.
No way.
There are 30 Republican reps in CA, NY and IL alone.
If the GOP loses even 24 of them, this does not pass the House.
This WILL NOT be in the final bill, in spite of the class warriors here on Free Republic wanting it too.
Oh, for those class warriors to consider: While this provision would hit CA and NY disproportionately, it would damage every person in every state who itemizes their taxes.
You commie, Social Justice Warriors expose your true nature.
Oh, and the few dimwits that are falling for the GOPe talking points, right out of Ryan’s office.
There are some states represented by Republicans that also have somewhat high property tax, such as Texas and Florida. I don’t think they can get a majority to agree to this proposal.
But it’s already clear that one provision disproportionately hurts high-tax states like California, New York and New Jersey”
Good. Its not fair that all the other states subsidizes the tax write off the high tax state taxpayers get.
So screw every conservative, libertarian or non demonrat resident in the state on top of their already being screwed by the state government? Despite the fact that more tax dollars flow out of the state than come back? You know all the aholes out there with this bullshit attitude like you can go screw themselves! And with attitudes like yours I can only hope that the ongoing exodus of liberals and illegals from California choosing greener pastures choose your perfect little corner of America.
The lede is very misleading.
The Trump tax plan will do away with deductions for state and local taxes. I haven’t read anywhere the the MID is touched.
Anybody correct me if I’m wrong. Also, as someone else pointed out, the increase in the doubled personal deduction would offset any loss from eliminating the MID, if that was in the works which doesn’t appear to be the case.
Today the state legislature passed a bill for free first year of community college for all “residents.” code for “including illegal aliens.”
They’re crying, too damned bad. Americans shouldn’t subsidize the high taxes of California or any state.
