Yes. Are you? Your the one wanting docial engineering in the tax code. Your the one wanting a tax break because your in a high tax area. I am for a flat tax or a fair tax. You want to shift taxes to someone else and being self righteous about it.

Whoa!

Slow down there.

I am saying (correctly) that the elimination of the current state and local tax deduction will cream millions of middle class Americans. And those calling for it are going to benefit.

Now.....that is a sober, and reasoned analysis.

What do you have to say about that?

I am saying deductions that are not equally applied are social engineering. I would prefer that all deductions be stopped and social engineering be removed from the tax code. EITC, child, mortgage, taxes (state and local), marriage, disadvantage area, advantage areas, health care, no health care, savings, interest... ALL deductions need to be removed for income taxes. I personally would be negatively impacted but the country would benefit.

It would make the tax code much fairer and easier. I can live (not prefer) a progressive rates (10, 15, 20 percent scales) but ultimately would like to see that die also. Tax Deductions are an attempt to use divide and conquer aka liberal tactics to separate us. That make one group winners and one group losers where we all agree that we all lose when that occurs. That is why the tax code has so many deductions.

The bigger question and much more important one is how to tax people and tax companies. That is where the meat really is. Your focused on the crumbs.

“the elimination of the current state and local tax deduction”

I linked the plan, where does it state that?
