you’re wrong on the math. before salt taxes were capped, those in blue ( high tax) states had larger federal income tax deductions than someone in a red ( low tax states). so if i live in SC, i paid a higher federal tax rate then someone exactly like me who lives in CT. The people in low tax states were subsidizing people in high tax states. it’s not fair to them.

i got slammed by that salt cap. absolutely slammed. but it’s not unfair. Why should
someone in SC pay a higher federal rate, simply because CT is run by tax and spend
liberals?
