Subsidized high local and state taxes are not conservative ideas. We don’t get to deduct SS and Nedicare taxes. why should people in Alabama keep their state taxes low while Chicago tax the hell out of their citizens and federal tax is reduced due to high deductions. Will it hurt some - yes but your local and state is screwing you but don’t shift the cost to other states.
More importantly I absolutely hate SS and Medicare. Let us out! Kill it. It’s a generational transfer and there is no more evil tax.
Do away with all deductions. Tax everyone at the same rate or have 2 or at most 3 tax rates if politicians have to have a progressive tax but no exemptions for anyone! There should be no social engineering in taxes.
Listen to me. Just because all of us do not live Alabama or Mississippi does not mean we are not patriots or conservatives. Furthermore, we will get ZERO tax relief because you are raising or taxes to the Federal government.
Your way is the definition of selfhish behavior, and of ignoring the legitimate concerns of citizens.
