    And what are the public purposes that allow trump to pay nothing in many years?
    And I think it’s an easy argument to say that funding local public govt serves a public purpose.

    There is an entire tax code that allows that. Do you have any specific deductions that Trump took that are as unfair as SALT is?

    Yah and it used to include salt. Nothing unfair about a break for people who are funding their states.

    Fake News. If Blue States want lower State taxes, they should demand it from their elected officials. The successful Red States aren't going to carry their tax load for them.

    Democrats should probably work on fixing their disease ridden cities overcome in terrorist Antifa's organized insurrection.

    So you are for subsidizing the rich through tax refunds from the US Treasury by subsidizing them for the taxes they paid to the state. Got it. They can save the money by moving to a state that won't rob them blind in taxes.

    Can't debate the facts? Just denial? It's what it is. The federal govt was subsidizing rich people in giving them refunds for taxes paid to state governments and it ended. It only increased taxes paid by rich people, which the left usually condemns, unless they are leftist elitists I guess.
