Pray tell, what social programs did they get for this? The tax bill was barely paid for.
Not to mention that affluent blue states already pay more net to the federal government than they get back in services.

- rjdagost 8y agoSome argue that allowing residents of high tax states to deduct more from their federal taxes is in effect a subsidy to high tax states. Why should someone who lives in Washington or Texas (no state income tax) have to pay more in federal taxes than if he lived in California (highest state income taxes in the USA)? This never seemed equitable to me.
