Even as a resident of a (relatively) high tax state, I think the SALT deduction needed to go. There are probably a thousand ways to calculate the net flow of Federal taxes in and out of a state, but the SALT deduction is clearly BS.

I don't think California has to worry about, "Losing" and revenue. The state is about to get a huge windfall in tax revenue this year from legalization of marijuana.

Actually they do, since when does the gov't not spend more than they take in with revenue, especially a liberal gov't? No matter how much you give them, they will ALWAYS want more and spend more. What happened with all the windfalls from the tobacco lawsuits in the 90's, the legalization of horse racing, dog racing, casinos, lotteries, scratch-off tickets, etc.? Did any of those windfalls solve their revenue problems? No.

Problem is, they prob have already planned how to spend said money (and more) to promote themselves, then scream Trump is cheating them.

I think the same way about married taxpayers.

Or those with kids

Or college costs to take credits on

Or teachers freebee deductions

Or preferential tax rates for dividends or capital gains

Or those who defer taxes by saving for retirement

Anyone who takes one of the above entitlements is full on FSA Roll Eyes


You missed my point completely. Noticed I said "states", not individuals. States can get away with higher taxation when they know the federal tax code allows it as a deduction. Higher state taxes are effectively subsidized.


more little bastards are made because the bastard makers know they will get paid more effectively subsidized by us assholes without kids.

Marrying and filing a joint tax return effectively subsidizes the married couple at the expense of us single filing assholes.

I got your point, do you get mine?


You are conflating inducements offered to individuals across all states with behavior of the states as a result of inducements. They are not the same.


If that were true (states taxed it's citizen's more because the tax was deductible), then it should be fair to assume those states will now lower tax rates.

I don't see any of those states reducing taxes, especially because the tax is not beneficial to the taxpayer.

Any US taxpayer who itemized deducted taxes. The amount deducted was primarily driven by income and financial resources, not the state in which they lived.

So while it is nice to say states are mean or nice, the federal government doesn't care, as President Trump proved a couple weeks ago, and Obama, Clinton, and the Bushes proved during their time in office as well.

Their federal income tax will be on the same basis of everyone else in the country pays. Maybe up, maybe down maybe no change. the Federal tax return reflect taxes being paid to the .gov.

However, previously (2017 and prior) total taxes paid to states ( a simplification, work with me for a mi nute) were deductible on the federal return

Under the new laws those tases are capped. For instance if a New Yorker paid $20,000 in property taxes previously, he could deduct $20,000. Now that amount will be capped to (I think $10k). So out New Yorker will have an additional $10,000 of his income subject to tax.

There are also sales taxes involved in the same capping scheme.

The federal government (Trump, bless him) revised the rax code to lower FEDERAL taxes for most people and in the process removed or reduced deductions that are valuable to high income earners in high taxed states.

Trump didn't raise anybody's state taxes. He made those taxes less valuable to many by reducing their deductibility.

The same thing applies to medical expenses, they will now be less deductible.

I hope that helps.

President Trump to CA:
SALT is capped at $10k. Perhaps time to rethink Sanctuary State, Bullet Train to nowhere, Free medical to all comers, etc. etc.

Thanks, wishfull. I am still left wondering how, exactly, the $10K cap will "raise New Yorkers’ property and income taxes by at least 20 percent"? What forces NY state to raise these taxes on their subjects? Or is this all liberal smoke and mirrors?

That's Cuomo mincing words. What he means is "Because we tax the everliving fuck out of you, your overall tax liability to the Federal Government may increase since you cannot write off certain things you once could."

It is the effect of paying Federal income tax on the amount over $10,000. Perhaps 20% is the average effective rate for New York residents.

OK... fair enough. Not all that live in NYS or CA are "Commie Fucks". I agree.

However.... I have a question for you:
Why should someone in NY or CA who earns the exact same amount of income pay less federal tax than someone in MO or TN?



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

They shouldn't. If states are suddenly so worried about how much tax their residents are paying, they know how to fix it.

nailed it. The mayor knows what he is saying which is not what he is peddling. He's playing the victim card so to deny, lie, obfuscate, confuse, conflate, misstate or otherwise separate fact from fiction is all OK if it gets the votes.

He's shrieking in panic because the full pain of 'his' taxpayers will now be felt instead of ameliorated by us rubes out in the sticks.

Nice question, as asked from the view of our poster. Maybe equally as good, is why someone in the high tax state pay more local taxes than our friends in MO and TN? But the answer is ugly and really the answer to this whole discussion. Its because those states have been screwing their taxpayers all along by over taxing them. Only now does it become obvious.

Its also an easy one for the taxpayers to solve. Its called move. Or for a slower solution, vote out the bastards that impose those taxes.

And in all this, remember everyone doesn't pay income taxes. That privilege is reserved for those fools we call "workers". Its only about 50% ( I can't prove that number, its what the media reports.) So thinking about it, those freeloaders (Free Shit Army) don't want to vote out their patrons. So its only the "rich" who are upset because they will soon be paying a bigger fair share than they have been. Whats not to like. The liberal bastards already say they're not paying their fair share. The pricks should rejoice that our beloved President Trump is doing what they advocate. Big Grin

Really? That's news to me.

I have four acquaintances (separate households) in Westchester and Dutchess counties that pay over $90K per year in property tax.

New York had or still has a "view" tax. If your property has a view, that was an add on to your property tax and it was a considerable amount. Completely subjective and abused.


That's nuts, that is more than I make a year.


It's criminal. It's nothing more than a scheme in which NY and NJ steal the appreciation of everyone's real estate.

It's not uncommon around here for people to brag about the value of their home. If these imbeciles factored in what they paid in property tax over the years, they'd be lucky to break even.
