I think garden variety liberals are more interested in their own financial advancement and security. Liberals who can seriously afford to put their money where their mouth is - like, oh, say, George Soros - aren't really interested in helping the poor get ahead.
Inconvenient thing about poor people getting ahead is that when they do get ahead, they tend to develop the smug conservative sense of earned entitlement.
Why don't tell all Trump Supporters to pool their money for the wall ?
I'd bet they would do it IF they were guaranteed to reap all the financial benefits thereof, but all the freeloaders who didn't put up money for the wall would unfairly share in the benefits.
No, that would be Liberals and the Left in general. They think the working class has a never ending supply of money that can be stolen from them to finance their pet projects.
I don't care if they don't let states deduct state and local taxes, I live in a state that doesn't have income tax. Not a problem for me. But make no mistake that red states have high state and local taxes too and they will pay equally. Blue states tend to have more expensive homes because people want to live there and often it is coastal and often there are geographical limitations. Red states deducting their state and local taxes also benefit. States like mine that fund our state in other ways get zero federal deductions.
Ignorance is bliss. If you choose not to deduct state and local sales tax that is your choice but your claim is not true.
Six of the seven states that do not have state income tax are red.
This really baffles me. We have loads and loads of rich liberals including Warren Buffett, Tim Cook, Bill Gates, Emma Stone, Patricia Arquette, Meryl Streep etc. etc. etc.
Why don't they just pool their money together and create a fund to pay for all their liberal ideas such as health care, refugees, illegal immigrants, equal pay etc. etc. etc.?
Wouldn't that solve more problems than all the bickering?
Many of these people are crazy philanthropists. But even with their vast money, the economy of scale is not there. I am not sure how charitable donations would affect equal pay though since employers do that...
