How DARE you tax my people.....that is MY money!!!

Is there anything more emblematic of liberals than their taking your money?  I guess the answer would be “yes; taking other peoples money to give to others, or to spend on things that you wouldn’t spend money on yourself. 

One of the provisions of the President Trump tax reform bill, or tax cut bill, or whatever you call it, was that individuals will only be able to claim as a deduction on their federal return, $10,000 worth of their state taxes (property, income, etc).  Now, that means that the federal government just does not include that $10,000 in taxes you paid to the state in calculating your federal taxes…..for federal purposes that $10K just doesn’t exist.  Now a few states, New York, California, New Jersey, and Illinois to name a few, were up in arms because some of their citizens pay FAR more than that in taxes on their home, their cars, their boats, their land, investments, etc.  That means that any state taxes they pay over and above the $10k is not deductible on their federal taxes, meaning that that the federal government DOES tax them on that amount.  Those states I named, and a few others, are outraged that the federal government is taking money that the STATES could be taking.  In those blue states, the people that pay more in taxes will STILL pay more in taxes, but now they will hurt more for it, to the tune of no deduction on anything paid to the state over $10K.

And that rule doesn’t only apply to “the rich”, who pay the bulk of taxes (remember, about 48% of America is on some form of payment from the government as it is); that rule applies to everyone.

Now, the lawsuit referenced at the link above is sad….I mean really sad.  The official filing the lawsuit seems to think that there is a constitutional obligation of the federal government to allow the states to rape their people and have the federal government essentially pay for it.  In the end, the tax reform “deprives” the states of money that THEY would normally take.

Now, you would THINK that a NORMAL thinker would think “hmmmm….how can we save our people money, short of beheading DeBlasio and the entire Cuomo crime family?”  And that person would realistically come up with sensible solutions…..like supporting law enforcement (the idea being that crime costs A LOT), not declaring their cities and states as sanctuary cities (Chigago, LA and San Fran spring to mind), running unions out of the public sector and becoming a right to work state….and generally not being bastions of liberal stupidity.  But NO!!  The solution is to file suit to eliminate the $10K deduction limit, so that the state can have the money, and THEN, in the case of New York, ask for MORE of your money through the federal government to do things like run their state low income welfare neighborhoods.

And they see nothing wrong with this at all….NOTHING.  It never occurs to this NY state attorney general that the problem is the state of New York (and Illinois, and New Jersey, and California), taxing the shit out of its’ people…….in her mind it is the federal government that is DEPRIVING the state of taxing the shit out of its’ people.  This attorney general is getting across one great point that the libs consider gospel……what’s yours is theirs….they know better how to spend your money….and the more you make, the more of your money they know how to better spend.

Be of good cheer blue states….pick up the mantle of this mental midget in the New York state attorney generals’ office…..take the high road…..don’t give in, never quit, never give your people a break….and whatever you do, remember…..        

……don’t be bullied.
