You are blaming the wrong government there.
When you ‘deduct taxes’ paid to over government entities, that is supporting the other governments (state, city, county, local, and any other deductions).
That allows those things being ‘deducted’ to go on robbing peoples pockets. Think solar panels and how the obambi group used our taxes to not only subsidize them, but also gave big deductions to people who bought them. While they also had ties to those companies. It not only robs us in the long run. It takes away our control over our own money.
Those ‘deductions’, and yes, including deductions for other governments taxes, is a lie. That is just us being forced to support liberal government entities to continue over taxing and pet projects.
P.S.
In a nutshell, most deductions are nothing more than RESTRIBUTION OF WEALTH.
Taking everyone’s money and sending it to particular groups and places they want to continue operating in particular ways.
So if you state, county, city, etc. is overtaxing or have your homes over-valued, woo-hoo, They get to keep overtaxing since the people never will feel the real brunt of their policies.
Or if they like a particular company and want them to get more money, WOO HOO, people are now nudged to buy their overpriced and under-competed products.
