The point is, your argument is faulty.

Nope.

The Federal government should have NO DOG in that hunt. The Federal govt policy should be FEDERAL govt policy.

The federal government doesn't have a dog in that hunt. This is about not double, triple, and quadruple taxing income.

It shouldn't be, "here's our rate...........oh........wait........you decided LOCALLY to give your LOCAL politicians more?............OK......you don't have to give us as much".

I mean, if you REALLY think about that, it's retarded.

You're making an argument for eliminating ALL deductions, not just SALT. We should all be taxed on our gross income, with no modifications. I'm okay with that as long as all legal people are held to the same standard. That means corporations are taxed on gross revenue, not profit. Unprofitable corporations don't get a free pass anymore.

By definition, that policy:
1)Reduces taxes for people who VOTED for more taxes

while

2)Increasing taxes for those who VOTED for FEWER taxes!

An absurdity.

Uhh, no it doesn't. Increasing someone's state income tax rate does not reduce their total tax bill. SALT is a tax deduction, not a tax credit. How do you not understand these fundamental concepts?
