I have no interest in subsidizing leftists/Californians who, with such deductions, get to pass on to the rest of the country at least part of the cost of their socialism.
As the article notes, the people who are being taxed more are California middle class Republicans, who didn’t vote for California’s socialism. GOP in Congress wants them to pay more to the federal government, instead of cutting federal spending
Jack Kemp called the pre-Reagan Republicans, the tax collectors for liberal government. GOP is now returning to that role by raising taxes instead of cutting spending
“I have no interest in subsidizing leftists/Californians”
We’re not asking you to.
If fact, we’re no even asking to be relieved of supporting YOUR state.
California sends more money to DC than it gets back in Federal expenditures of any kind. It’s a net donor state that help fund the largess of many, many red states.
Given the enormity of the CA tax base, that excess is likely enough to completely fund more than one state below the Mason-Dixon line.
As a resident of a state that sends more than $40 BILLION dollars of tax revenue OUT to the Federal Government than it gets back, I'm a little tired of "arguments" such as yours which not only have no basis in fact, it's we who are subsidizing YOU.
FACT.
