This is no different than the phoney Obamacare repeal. Trump is getting punked by his own party in Congress. He needs to find a few real conservatives on Capital Hill - and listen to them. Mitch and Paul cannot be trusted.

Virginia has personal property tax, income tax and sales tax so no individual tax seems high but, when you combine them... Of course, that’s not even counting excise taxes such as prepared foods, tobacco, hotels, gasoline, telephone and who knows what else they’ve tucked away.

So you are still being sarcastic and a jerk? Grow up. And quit the “in before” this poster or that. All you are trying to do is mock and shame them for sharing their opinion. Which is what you are doing. Hypocrite.

Maryland had a millionaire’s tax for a few years. The state took in a smaller amount of state income tax the following year. They would not publish the number of returns filed by millionaires the year before and the year after the law went into effect.

There may have been a lot of millionaires who found that living in Florida for 6 months and one day was very nice.

Yes, I think this would open the eyes of people in those states.

I’m totally for it.

A few years ago, I got laughed at for never having heard of Ryan. He had some promise, I agreed. Then he gets in the speakership and ... nothing happened. Blech.

“You know, 1 percent of people in the state of New Jersey pay about 42 percent of its tax base. And you know, they can leave.”

The RATs could take every last dime from “the rich” and it still wouldn’t stop their mantra about “the rich not paying their fair share!” The high-tax blue states are going to be finding out that “the rich” are far more mobile than the “average joes!”
We’re seeing it here in CA, a state that has the most steeply progressive personal income tax in the country. And here in CA, we are right next door to Nevada which has NO state income tax. My wife is from Nevada originally, and we’ve thought seriously about changing our state of residence through the purchase of a home there.

“The only reason there is a debate over SALT and mortgage interest deductions is because the pathetic idiot party who controls all three branches of government are so utterly incompetent and beholden to deep pocket contributors that they can’t even CUT TAXES without fiddly-farting around with deductions.”

You need to get yourself some patience. Trump has been president for ten months, and he has, despite some nearly insurmountable odds, moved mountains. It’s fine to say “off with their heads” as regards tax deductions, but a meat axe approach might well bring with it some really pissed off people who needed some time to adjust to reforms. For shit’s sake, give the man some time! It isn’t like he’s got al lot of support from his own party, on top of the onslaught of the MSM, Mueller and the rest of the RAT contingent! Anything they do in the short-term is just a start. The Stock Market is our friend, and where it’s going is helping to drive a stake through the hearts of both the RATs and the RINOs.

"You know, 1 percent of people in the state of New Jersey pay about 42 percent of its tax base. And you know, they can leave."

Sweeney is probably thinking about a 90% exit tax to stop them.

On what? Stopping this abortion of a bill? Here? Are you joking? The House and Senate don’t live by my words. Yours either. Pinging Mariner since you brought him up in the thread.

New Jersey's recently-elected governor ran on a campaign promise to institute a "millionaire's tax."

He hasn't even been inaugurated yet, and he and the leader of the NJ State Senate have already begun backtracking on that campaign promise because they know it will drive even more wealthy taxpayers out of the state. We've already lost a bunch of them over the years.

You have misconstrued my responses to you with believing I actually value your opinions.

I DO NOT blame President Donald J. Trump for the failures of McConnell, Ryan, and their progressive GOPe brethren.
