Democrats are the party of the rich and they will sue anyone who wants to close loopholes or limit deductions for the rich.

I guess now liberal, elite Democratic politicians in blue states now want to sue the federal government over President Trump's tax cuts because they closed tax loopholes and tax deductions for the rich.

I guess the Democrats are angry because tax deductions and now severely limited so that the vast majority of property taxes on mansions and estates and the state and local income taxes will be limited.

Odd how the Democrats say the Republicans are bought and sold by the rich when the Republicans severely limited rich people's deduction's with the new tax bill.

Now, the Democrats are wanting the sue the federal government because the rich can only deduct a small amount of the taxes on their estates and mansions.

Bahahahaa....

I guess Libs aren't quite so interested in the rich paying their "fair share" as they pretend to be.

It's too bad that so far in this thread the tax issue can't be discussed in a mature and adult way.

Here's the objective truth: it is bad for the economy and it is bad for America for federal policy to pick winner states and loser states. If Trump wants a strong economy he can't do it without California's tech sector and New York's financial prowess. The blue states need the the industry, energy, and agriculture from the red states. We are the United States and we should be working together.

Funny, that's what you want to do every single time you complain about states receiving less federal money back than they send in (and you can diddle those numbers) while others receive more than they send (which can also be diddled).

Lawyers=take all...is there anything in this society that one can not start a lawsuit over? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vexatious_litigation A law such as the forgoing is sorely needed in this county. Billions if not trillions of $$$ are wasted in our system due to frivolous lawsuits.

We are helping liberal states understand they need to lower their taxes. Tough love. Tech jobs will find new homes in better tax climates within the country.

Blue state governors considering lawsuits because Trump/Republican tax plan limited deductions for the rich



Social Security has done that since the FDR administration in the 1930s. Only your first NNN dollars of pay are taxed, the rest isn't. People who earn more pay a lower percentage of their incomes than people who earn less.

Looks like the Democrats will have to sue themselves.
