By that twisted logic, anyone who owns a home and deducts mortgage interest is "unjustified, unfair, and ridiculous" to someone who rents an apartment.
By that twisted logic, anyone who has children and is claiming a child tax credit is "unjustified, unfair, and ridiculous" to someone who is childless.
By that twisted logic, anyone who is generous to their church and charities, and deducts charitable contributions is "unjustified, unfair, and ridiculous" to someone who is stingy with their income.
And on, and on.
What you are complaining about is that people used deductions that allowed them to pay less Federal tax. The SALT provision was codified in 1862, and based on the principle that it is wrong and immoral for the Federal government to tax people on money that they already paid in taxes.
And again, the reason Paul Ryan, Kevin Brady, Gary Cohen, Steven Mnunchin, and the rest of those clowns screwed over millions of families and individuals with the tax bill was because after giving corporations a cut from 35% to 21%, they had to go looking for loose change in the sofa in order to come up with ways to "pay for" the corporate tax cut.
You are pathetically misinformed. Renters NEVER escape property tax. It is included in their rent payment by the landlord.
Like I said before, screw the blue states tax payers. They choose to live in liberal states, do not give them any federal income tax breaks by allowing them to deduct their high SALTs. President Trump is right again!
