The rest of the country gets the SAME DEDUCTIONS; the difference being that not everyone, everywhere, uses the same ones!

If I were like you, I could just as easily ask: 1)Why should people with huge families get a deduction 2) Why should people who take out a mortgage get a deduction 3) Why should those who are very ill, get to deduct their medical costs 4) Why should people who were stupid enough to take out huge student loans get to deduct the interest 5) Why should people who adopt get a deduction 6) Why should anyone paying alimony get to deduct it 7) and on and and on and on?

The SALT deductions are over 100 years old and are still worth keeping intacted!

Yes, I chose to live here and when we moved here, there was NO state income tax! So I didn't have that deduction then; now I do.

Again with the "move" crap?

Okay...why should I move to some nasty hellhole, where I don't know anyone nor have any family?

Why should ANYONE "have to move" because the Congress has decided to pull a huge tax INCREASE ?

And just because one lives in a "conservative state" doesn't preclude them having to pay large property taxes...which are now either capped or disallowed, depending on if you look at the Senate of House Bills!

Deductions for SALT isn't "harming" you nor anyone else!

You must also yearn to "soak the rich"; you little COMMIE, you!

The rest of the country gets the SAME DEDUCTIONS;

No, the rest of the country does not have those same large deductions.

Large families? what does that have to with what state you live in? Why do you just keep spouting nonsense? Where did I say anything about you moving?

AND WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO CALL Conservative FReepers COMMUNISTS?

There's a special place for people like you in hell.

I don’t want anybody moving because of an end to big-government-subsidizing SALT. That’s why I want to get rid of any rates above 25% and extend the 12% rate to all income subject to FICA.

If we drop the corporate and pass-through rates further to 15%, we can get rid of corporate SALT, too. Let Cuomo, Brown, Rauner and Hogan raise their money honestly, without federal (meaning, ultimately, OUR) help.
