Why am I subsidizing your outrageous state and local taxes

Apparently you don't know how a Tax Deduction works. We have been over and over this issue on FR. Also, do you know why the SALT deductions were written into the Federal Tax Code in 1913? Because they recognized that it was "immoral" (their words) to force double taxation upon American citizens.

Moreover, most of the high tax states are subsidizing the low tax states - not the other way around.

Bovine ecrement. If you have been “over it and over it”, you know that this has no to very little effect on the average wageearner.

It DOES effect high wage earners, and more importantly BIG SPENDERS in HIGH TAX states.

Try using an ancient, magical concept that was considered racist for the last decade, called...

MATH...

It will never lie to you, and it will always give you the correct answer.

“Moreover, most of the high tax states are subsidizing the low tax states - not the other way around.”

That is the way it ought to be since they are the ones sending the big spenders to Congress.

The IRS collected over $24 billion in revenue from the State of South Carolina in FY2015. According to your chart, it received back 8 times that amount or nearly $200 billion?

Please provide a list of this federal spending in South Carolina. I notice three out of four at the top are states where major hurricanes have occurred. Is that the reason for the extra spending? It doesn’t look like it. https://www.cbo.gov/publication/44601

Posting a chart, means nothing unless you can explain how your arrived at those numbers.

Also, according to your chart, California is just about right on average, dollar for dollar. So why are Californians complaining?

I just listened to Kelly Conway on Fox describe how states with higher income/real estate taxes are being “subsidized”
She was grin I g about getting rid of deductions and exemptions.

And there you have it - a “victory”
