I am turning into a one-issue voter, sadly I have nobody to vote for 🥲

Repuglicans punished us Blue-state dwellers by imposing taxes on taxes - on money we cannot spend - by limiting SALT (state and lical taxes) deduction to $10K. That is costing me. I noticed Demogogues are not bothering to repeal the limit though. They are always hungry for more money coming to the government. Go around acting like they own it.

A pox on both houses.

You might.

The "Democrats," writ large, may not be prioritizing the removal of the SALT limit. But I suspect that if you live in a blue state with people affected by the SALT cap, there will probably be at least one Democrat in the primary that will pledge to fight for repeal. The same might even be true of the GOP candidates as well.

But it will depend a lot on your district, and your state.

Rich white people want their tax breaks.

What else is new.

They'll shout "15 an hour!" "raise taxes on the rich!" just to feel good about themselves.

But - they love enjoying tax breaks that others can't afford to participate in. SALT is just one.

SALT status quo is fine.

And it's time to collect back taxes on 401K contributions and slap an excise tax on earnings of anyone with an advanced degree.

Hey, if you have a good job and education "you didn't build that".....

In elementary school I learnt that a line is made of an infinite number of points.
(Mind you, my first grade teacher had a very hard time convincing me, because I understood the idea immediately but also pointed out that it will take us an infinite time to draw a line using points, so how did she know it was true? But I digress.)

You wrote a lot of lines.
None of them has a point.
Congratulations on disproving Euclid.

Great!

Fact remains that rich greedy White Liberals still want their SALT tax breaks.

Your dodging and deflection won't change that. BUT - I'm adding a trillion to your national debt - just for my time :)

It's ok! Greedy White Liberals and Trump have much in common on this one - at least Trump admits it though. Back to the things they try to dodge and deflect....

<<rich greedy White Liberals still want their SALT tax breaks.>>

I'm a rich white Liberal and I do not want any tax breaks. I, like Warren Buffett, think I should pay higher taxes. Maybe some Liberals want tax breaks?

And maybe some rich, greedy, conservatives also want tax breaks...

Example: Rich, greedy, White, MAGA Cult members want their SALT tax breaks...

"Lawmakers on Long Island have introduced a bill to remove the $10,000 limit on state and local tax deductions, known as the 'SALT' cap.
Representatives Andrew Garbarino (R-NY) sponsored the bill to allow taxpayers to deduct the full amount of their state and local taxes from
their federal return. Nick LaLota (R-NY) and Anthony D'Esposito (R-NY) are co-sponsors."

"Long Islanders pay some of the highest property taxes in the country, the $10,000 cap means they are only able to deduct a fraction
of what they pay from their federal income taxes," said Republican Garbarino.

I find your oversimplified generalizations tiresome.
That being said, I also recognize you likely suffer from mental illness, and I hope you get the help you need.

The fact remains......

Affluent White Liberals want their exclusive tax cuts.

Always have, always will.

Their "15 an hour!" shouts do not change this fact and their greed.

Not one Shrewd poster has been named.

Mere fact and policy is highlighted here.

It's time they just admit "Yeah, I'm a Trumpy Bushie when it comes to my money".

That is easier for them than saying...

"I'm a Greedy Republican when it comes to my taxes and I love exclusive perks for upper income white professionals"

I didn't insult the poster.

But that's all the Left has.

It would be easier - just admit they are greedy and there's nothing wrong with that :)

Back to topic:

Affluent White Liberals are Bush-Cheney-Trump when it comes to greed and taxes for themselves.

You normally have a snide personal reply to my posts and why I most always ignore you. You're not worth the effort for me to be bothered with.

Back on ignore.

Of course you didn't. That's not your style. Neither do you ever pay back in kind.
