The middle class tax increase is a violation of the 5th Amendment.
If corporations can deduct 100% of their State property taxes, then under our Constitution so can citizens.
Just because some Goldman Sachs spectacle wearing mieskeit scumbag says the cap is $10,000 for citizens doesn’t make it legal.
Citizens are EQUAL to Corporations under the Constitution.
“Person”
The due process clauses apply to both natural personas as well as to “legal persons” (that is, corporate personhood) as well as to individuals, including both citizens and non-citizens.
The Fifth Amendment due process was first applied to corporations in 1893 by the Supreme Court in Noble v. Union River Logging.
Noble was preceded by Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad in 1886.
The due process clauses also apply to non-citizens who are within the United States, although the U.S. Supreme Court has recognized that non-citizens can be stopped, detained, and denied past immigration officials at points of entry (e.g. at a port or airport) without the protection of the Due Process Clause because, while technically on U.S. soil, they are not considered to have entered the United States
We should have half-SALT for both individuals and corporations = 1/2 (income + sales + property). Fair is fair, and the soft cap will hopefully discourage states from sending their taxes to the moon while respecting state sovereignty. (Can’t believe I’m agreeing with Fr0sh on that latter point, for once.)
Hogan blocked their Red Line choo choo.
The Congress passed the Act...they would have to Sue Congress! Don’t see this going anywhere!
How about just lowering the high taxes, not sure how Maryland has a case lol
