The people who are "winners" in this bill already screamed at us what a "subsidy" is. If we have to pay higher taxes so they get lower taxes, then we are losing our deductions - and they were "subsidizing" us all along.
Like we were on welfare or something by claiming tax deductions that allowed us to keep more of our own money from Washington.
Just because they keep saying it over and over doesn’t make it true.
The confusion is understandable when people like Kelly Conway are out there using the same phraseology.
It’s very intentionally deceptive.
If high state and local taxes are to be encouraged, they shouldn’t be taxed. If high state and local taxes are to be discouraged, they SHOULD be taxed.
Get your head out of your butt!
And it seems to me people claiming tax payers are being subsidized when they deduct state income taxes are claiming that money belongs to the federal government. To deny the federal government is wrong. So much for states rights, decentralized governance...
