Four U.S. states sued the federal government Tuesday to void the new $10,000 cap on the federal deduction for state and local taxes, included as part of the President Donald Trump's 2017 tax overhaul.
quote:
The lawsuit by New York, Connecticut, Maryland and New Jersey came seven months after Trump signed into law the $1.5 trillion overhaul, which also lowered taxes for many wealthy Americans and slashed the corporate tax rate.
quote:
Critics say the cap disproportionately harms high-tax states, many of which lean Democratic.
Voters in New York, Connecticut, Maryland and New Jersey favored Hillary Clinton, a Democrat, in the 2016 presidential election.
quote:
The states said the cap will depress home prices, spending, job growth and economic growth, and impede their ability to pay for essential services such as schools, hospitals, police, and road and bridge construction and maintenance.
They also said it "effectively eviscerates" a deduction that has been on the books since 1861, and unconstitutionally intrudes on state sovereignty.

Do liberals understand it is mostly the wealthy who use these deductions?

There weren't federal income taxes until 1913.
ETA: I may be wrong - the system as it exists today was implemented in 1913. I think Lincoln may have instituted a temporary wartime income tax.

Maybe lower your state's taxes and stop wasting so much money on socialist type programs

Republicans need to use this for the mid term. The democrats calm the rich should pay more in taxes but then they sue The federal government to get them more deductions.

That's a heck of a stretch of the 10th amendment... the feds can't set their own tax policy because, due to state decisions, some people may pay more than others.
Personally I think they should have eliminated the deduction completely... there is no reason for the feds to subsidize state taxes in this manner.

"We have high state taxes for a reason - the other states pay for it! If you make our voters pay their actual taxes we charge them that'll hurt our party!"

Why would these states sue unless they believe it will cost them money in the end? Aren’t libs for higher taxes on their peeps as a solution? So what’s different now?
