So you want the fed to charge taxes on $ people don't have (the state has already received that $ due to state income taxes) ?

even with SALT, there is a huge transfer of $ from blue states to red states (in KY 35% of state GDP. If that was lowered it would have a huge impact over time and prob. flip the equation.
"So you want the fed to charge taxes on $ people don't have"

I don't get a federal income tax deduction for groceries, and that's money I no longer have. why should i get one because I choose to live in a high tax state? You use highways and rely on the US military the same way a NH resident does, but you pay less for those things because you live in CT. There's no way to defend that.

So let's be clear, you're not in favor of rich people giving money to poor people via taxes? I thought liberals were all about "spreading the wealth around".
