President Trump's Tax Plan Bad For "High Tax States"

So, if you live in California, New York, New Jersey, and other States with huge State Taxes, you are in for a big hit with President Trump's proposed Tax Bill.

These States have always told their citizens that they should be willing to pay exorbinate State Taxes because they could deduct them from their Federal Taxes.

That free ride might be over. If you want to live in these Liberal Enclaves, you have to be willing to endure the Liberal Government Policies.

I sure am glad I live in Texas.

Some States have huge Income Taxes. Some Cities, such as New York City, have their own Income Tax as well.

But many States do not have Income Taxes. In Texas, we do not, but do pay higher property taxes than many States. But as high as those property taxes are, they are nothing like an Income Tax. Keep in mind, people in New York also have huge Property Taxes, Sales Taxes, etc, as well as the State Income Tax.

None of this means anything to me, because I Short Form my Taxes. I basically never have enough deductions to meet the requirements of the Long Form, so I don't bother.

I pay a shit load of Taxes. I have been a Widower for close to 20 years now, I have never lived a personal lifestyle based on tax deductions. In my Business, yes. But as far as my personal life goes, I work, and pay based on my income.

What Trump "wants" doesn't matter until he is presented with a final bill.

Congress will decide, but if they want him to sign the final bill, they will need to address his "critical" concerns ... but a tax code that does not lower taxes will do nothing productive for the economy. Just like government expenditures overseas will do nothing for the economy. U.S. payrolls and U.S. made materials will help the economy .... generate taxes and generate discretionary spending in the retail markets.
