Democrats Finally Stop Lying About the Rich "Not Paying Their Fair Share"
- Thread starter artichoke
- Start date
That is not true, the state and local taxes are "worth just dollars to the average middle-class taxpayer," if you are deducting, as probably anyone with a middle class income would do, the state and local taxes were important. Sure the higher level incomes paid more, but that doesn't discount the effects on the middle class taxpayer, "just dollars" is a relevant term totally depending on your tax burden
The Democrats aren't pushing this change because they have altered their view on tax, but rather because it is an issue for all taxpayers in a lot of States they represent, that, and the fact that already the blue states pay more and get less with Federal tax, and this only increases that imbalance
^Another low IQ dumbfuck who doesn't have the slightest clue of what they are bloviating about.

the Heritage foundation?
that is propaganda you dumb fuck
Nobody said liberals say they stand for Democrat power, just that every time that one defining principle (the only thing they are ever consistent on) is threatened, everything else gets thrown under the bus.

How do you prove stupid? This is stupid: "worth just dollars to the average middle-class taxpayer," That's not facts, it's just stupid and makes ZERO sense.
This is stupid: "just dollars" 'is a relevant term totally depending on your tax burden' That's not facts, it's just stupid and makes ZERO sense.
This is stupid: "and the fact that already the blue states pay more and get less with Federal tax, and this only increases that imbalance" That's not facts, it's just stupid and makes ZERO sense.
You're conflating two issues. (1) what should the overall tax distribution be as between the rich and everyone else, (2) to what extent should people be double-taxed on their incomes. The Republicans, who spent years whining about "double taxation" when the issue was whether heirs should pay taxes on unearned income despite some of that income already having been taxed when earned by the deceased, suddenly decided "double taxation" was fine if it was a way of sticking it to people in states with higher tax rates, in order to try to force those states to lower taxes.
Basically, the new rule isn't about shifting more tax burden to the rich, generally, but rather about shifting more tax burden to higher earners in particular states.
Do you ever stop to think about what you post or do you just make it up as you go along?
The statement, "worth just dollars to the average middle-class taxpayer," that you think is stupid was part of the point of the title post that was attempting to say that the elimination of SALT as a deduction didn't matter much to the average taxpayer cause to them it was "worth just dollars," DUH
And the second statement you find "stupid" is a fact

No wonder you have to resort to the personal attacks and corny copy and pastes, you don't process information all that well
Of which it applies to the majority of tax payers in those particular states, everyone in New York aren't living on the upper West side
