My friend, remember this posting from last month:

“What universe do you live in?”

Suggest reading this article: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/us-towns-cities-fear-taxpayer-revolt-if-republicans-kill-deduction/ar-BBF3ZMo?li=BBmkt5R&ocid=spartanntp

The article states: “Given the past difficulty Pataskala has had convincing taxpayers to approve new taxes, he said, eliminating or paring back the SALT deduction might trigger demands for chopping local taxes and blow a huge hole in his budget.”

It adds credence to what I was saying: “Getting rid of the deduction will put pressure on these states to LOWER their taxes.”

The universe is looking just fine.

Kansas next door cut their taxes six or seven years ago with the usual promise that it will bring jobs and actually raise revenue. The result has been six straight years of revenue not coming close to projections and cuts to roads, schools, public safety, Medicaid, and everything else that could be cut. Last election the conservatives in the legislature lost in a landslide and something like 20 or 25 of the tax cut supporters were primaried or lost in the general.

That's the universe we live in. Your article is talking about the same kind of cuts that Kansas went through. And it will probably result in the same outcome - Republican losses in the legislature and governorships. Is that what you're looking for?
