“The list goes on, especially as I am about to file taxes and am limited to a $10,000 deduction for state and local taxes, a direct Republican/Trump attack on all of us who live in blue states”
People who live in blue states choose to pay for things that people who live in red states choose to do without. There is no reason that people who live in red states should subsidize the choices of people who live in blue states. This is part of the beauty of the federal system.
Real fairness would be to have absolutely no SALT deduction at all. Federal income tax should be completely unrelated to state and local taxes.
Why am I, a lower-middle-class Rebbe who struggles to make ends meet, subsidizing the luxuries of people like CTL?
