Do you really think Trump would have won if he had run on rearranging the tax burden to benefit business and screw conservatives in states with a state income tax?

Uh who do you think creates jobs? Businesses do. Trump won to get the economy going. Most people in states with state income taxes will not see their taxes go up (present company included and I have to file in two states) - only the outrageously high tax states (CA, NJ, NY etc) that didn’t vote for trump anyway would be effected. I currently itemize 35k and wouldn’t be able to itemize afterwards and my taxes drop by $2k/yr.

Exactly. This never happened:

'So here's what I am going to do - give a Great Big, Beautiful tax cut to the largest corporations from 35% to 20%, AND they will get to keep all of their deductions - - even their state, local, and property tax! But for the middle class, I am going to slash or cap almost every deduction you have, including medical expenses, property taxes, state and local taxes, alimony, disaster relief funds - all of that! Millions of you will be paying Great Big fatter checks to the IRS, because we need your money to offset the cut to those wonderful corporations! And Mark Zuckerberg and Goldman Sachs are going to love it, believe me....'
