RE: Finally, you come to the phrase ‘a lot’. With the tax changes that occurred,
Well, you can count out a few folks living in New York and NJ where property taxes are in the five figure range (e.g. Long Island and Westchester) and you can only deduct up to $10,000 in SALT.
But it’s like I said...the ‘Trump-turbo’ is a region by region thing...it’s not really one single feeling going across the entire US. If you go into San Fran or Seattle...people are still disenchanted, but it’s more over their local politics or screwed-up situation. These areas with serious property tax issues (as you say in NJ or NY)...Trump’s path hasn’t done that much.
But note as well...Amazon tried to bring jobs into NY City, and AOC slammed that in a massive way.
By the end of the 8-year period, there’s going to be a 800-page book coming out of the era and describing all the jobs gained, industries that finally recovered from Clinton, Bush, and Obama....and Trump-optimism in full bloom.
