California is a sanctuary state, welcomes the Dreamers, wants health care for illegal aliens. The chickens have come home to roost.
I’m so sick of the “how to pay for it” trope. Liberals are never concerned about how to pay for anything when it comes to their precious social programs, they just print the money or borrow it. But when it comes to keeping our own money, it’s, “Hey! How do you plan to pay for that?”
SOLUTION for California: Simply allow Californians who itemize on their state income tax returns to fully deduct federal taxes paid from their income for California income tax purposes. The large reduction in state taxes paid to California by California taxpayers should be greatly appreciated by those taxpayers.
As for the rest of us...we don’t care how much or how little California taxes it’s citizens. Just don’t ask for the rest of us to subsidize them by allowing those taxes to be deducted from fed taxable income.
You live in Californis like I do. Do we deserve to get thrown under thw bus?
I live in the state, and I agree. CA
Our idiots in our capital have been writing checks with their mouths that their ass couldn’t cash, for decades.
Welcome to reality.
I am so gratified and grateful to see that the day has come when Democrats are expressing concern for people impacted by high taxes. Kinda gets me right here. Sniff, sniff.
That's a big kick in the teeth to companies trying to lure employees into Californica...
Had multiple offers; never could afford to live in CA on the offered salary -- not nearly as well as I was living in Texas without their "raise"... This would magnify that difference greatly!
Erroneous headline. Californians are actually.l being targeted for fleecing by their own state legislature, led by Governor Moonbeam.
Now California won’t vote for Trump in 2020.
A "tax cut" that has to be paid for is not a tax cut, merely tax redistribution. Let's have a real tax cut, one that cuts the amount of money that the government takes in.
There's that phrase again, the liberals favorite anti-tax-cut meme!
Californians vote in the folks who vote in their higher taxes. Now why should they get bigger federal tax deductions just because the choose to have higher state and local taxes. Those deductions are gifts from all the taxpayers who don’t get those deductions.
