Coastal liberals are very happy for tax increases except when they have to pay it themselves! This makes the situation more fair - eliminate market warping changes such as the property tax deduction and stop letting states get a free ride when increasing taxes by reducing the federal burden. Seems fair to me.
- davexunit 9y agoThis is a tax break for the very wealthiest at the expense of everyone else, but sure, keep on that "coastal liberals" nonsense.

This action flies in the face of that. 2) _Generally_ the states who are penalized by this change in tax policy already pay more in federal taxes than they receive in benefits.[1] [1] https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2014/05/which-states-are-givers-and-which-are-takers/361668/ https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2014/05/which-s...
- alexanderstears 9y agoHardly flies in the face of strong local governance, if anything, it makes local governance more important because the funding of local governments is more dear under this plan.
