Yet another positive feature of recent tax reform.
Zitat New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo charged Republicans Thursday with intentionally crafting their tax bill to target Democratic-leaning states to pay for tax cuts that benefit Republicans.
"This tax provision hits the blue states by eliminating the state and local tax deductibility and uses that money to finance the tax cut in the red states," Cuomo said on CNN's "New Day."
Cuomo said the move to eliminate the state and local tax deduction "put a dagger in the heart of New York and California," and that the Republicans leading Congress basically said, "Let's pillage the blue to give to the red."

Cuomo said in response to the law, they would "propose a restructuring of our tax code" and indicated his support for some kind of legal challenge.
Cuomo said he was not sure what the Republicans did is constitutional and that there were "legitimate grounds" for legal action, but added the final retribution for the new law would come at the ballot box.
"They know exactly what has happened, and they're going to remember," Cuomo said. "Democracy ultimately works."
In other words the low tax states will no long subsidize the frivolous spending of Cuomo and Brown. Cutting spending and cutting taxes will resolve your problems, Mario. Btw, he's threatening to sue which would be just another waste of NY taxpayer's money.
"Cuomo said in response to the law, they would "propose a restructuring of our tax code" and indicated his support for some kind of legal challenge."
Time for some "judge shopping" as Donald Trump called it.
"...the Ninth Circuit, which has a terrible record of being overturned (close to 80%)." said Donald Trump
If only Cuomo could get his case heard before the 9th Circuit Court!

It is truly fascinating, the way Liberals twist language. The Federal government is pillaging nothing. They are merely removing the smoke screen Dims use to raise taxes as much as they want, secure in the knowledge that the tax credit given by the Feds will silence the masses [the Feds never saw the money to begin with]. It's the "Scooter Store" ad on a massive scale.
Hopefully, although considering the stupidity of voters in my state [Yeah, New York], our citizens will turn their attention and ire to the targets deserving that ire, the State of New York , its county and local governments. They are, after all the ones with their hands in our pockets. Because you can't buy Teachers' Union muscle, and the votes of the drones without sufficient money. Like OUR money
It's not whether the glass is half full, or half empty. It's who's buying the drinks...
