Did you read the article?
“from much lower income areas of California”
Dream on.
1/3 of Republican District constituents take the deductions. If you’re in a red district in Texas it’s a similar number but you’re not really at risk because...it’s red Texas and you can forfeit a large portion of the vote.
Somebody like Tom McClintock (damn solid conservative) would not stand a chance if he soured even 10% of his voters.
Uh huh.
Again, don’t be fooled by those numbers. They’re only true with TODAY’s Standard Deduction. Double the Standard Deduction and those percentages would likely drop by at least 2/3’s, at least in the lower income areas of the state.
For example, if I can itemize $20k and the SD is $12.7k, I’ll itemize and save nearly $2k in taxes. But if I can itemize $20k and the SD is doubled to $25.4k, guess what, I DO NOT itemize.
But you are probably right, in the end, as the Democrats and their media will likely convince the country using today’s percentages rather than what would be the much lower post-Trump plan percentages (after all, it worked on you).
