[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see no logic to the SALT deduction.  Why should some one get to pay less federal taxes because they elect to live in a high local tax jurisdiction?

It encourages wasteful spending and high taxes at the local level. [/quote]

Well, then how about we end the blue states subsidizing the red states because the red states claim to be low tax/no tax zones but take more in from Blue State taxes than they pay into the system?[/quote] It’s a Federal INCOME TAX, deductions should be associated with producing INCOME. Your state taxes have no bearing on the ability to produce INCOME, so no deduction.

High state taxes also don’t promote some societal goal, like family formation. It’s really that simple.[/quote]

The public services (education, roads, public transportation, etc.) and aid for poor that is provided through those taxes isn't promoting a societal goal?  Are you listening to yourself?  Or maybe it's just that MAGAs don't think any of those things are actually important.[/quote]
