It's biggest cruelty is to the possibility of a reduced deficit or balanced budget. As to "blue" states, according to all our resident Trumpies, the wealthy people in them are Republicans anyway so screw them all. The various burbs I was from in PA and NJ are Republican run and chock-full of Republicans that make the big bucks. Let 'em pay for their Trump votes. Fine with me.
I don't notice if I pay 1 or 2% more or 1 or 2% less. But hopefully all these Republicans in swing states (PA, for example) do......
This is correct. I have been saying it for almost a year. The market in our area has declined about 20% since 2016.
I live in a high property tax county and that’s what they said after the new law but
“The median home value in Suffolk County is $404,000. Suffolk County home values have gone up 6.2% over the past year and Zillow predicts they will rise 6.8% within the next year.”
Foreclosures are going up big time here in Florida - something like 18 to 20% compared to a year ago. But I don't blame that on the new tax law. It's that super amazing Trump economy...the best ever in history. NOT.
Things are not so great out in the real world. The stock market has gone almost nowhere in 15 months now and property values sure are not headed upwards in most markets.
Well, for years I have lived in red states and paid MORE in TAXES so rich folks in California, Illinois, NY, NY, Conn, Mass......paid less due to deductions for state and local taxes
I NEVER made over 80,000 a year in my entire life.....why should I pay so RICH FOLKS get their deductions??
You definitely didn't pay more than us, even before the new tax laws. As a 1% in a blue state, Im pretty sure our effective tax rate and absolute tax liability have been much higher than yours for years.
I don't mind paying higher taxes, if they're going towards the things that I believe help make the country great (ex. education, infrastructure, research, social safety net, etc.), but I don't think they are priorities for this administration.

Really, I am looking for cheap beachfront property... Where in Florida is this... I will pay with the money I made the last 15 months in the stock market....

I do mind. It’s my money and to fund some jackass in a blue high tax state irritates me no end.

Well I got more back this year so I am good.
Your hard blue states like Jersey, New York, Mass, CA etc. Do tax their people to death so do a lot of blue cities. From income tax to property taxes. Blue staters get what they accept and deserve it. So do Trump supporters for that matter.

Do you have any clue what you are posting? Or did I misunderstand you?
The SALT Tax adjustment actually keeps more money in the government, which would seem to help deficits and debts (if they were actually interested in the debt). Trump increased taxes on the wealthy. I thought that's what many people wanted.
Just because your friend paid doesn't mean he had a higher tax burden. Sounds like he made more money and didn't adjust accordingly from the previous year. They really need to have their tax guy explain things better to them.
And yet CA is ranked one of the lowest in education and infrastructure. Riddle me that with your fiddlestick.
Not the feds fault that they aren't subsidizing your states high tax and COL.
