For people who bitch and moan about people paying their fair share of taxes they really hated the SALT regulations.

Basically it limits how much people can deduct from federal taxes for state and local taxes (SALT)

Those numbers consider SS payments as the same as paying the state.

Plus again these taxes apply to a very small group of people and still allows them to deduct $10k in federal taxes due to state taxes.

These are subsidized states through federal tax brakes.

CA and NY in particular are states who rely heavily on a hand full of super wealthy to pay most taxes.

So these billionaires live here and make their money from a structure supported by the federal and state, why should these financial centers take the bulk of that t the expense of the nation, its greedy.

Honestly its a little racist.

"Plus again these taxes apply to a very small group of people" - You are retarded. Anyone earning a basic living CA wage ($100k), or that purchased a home within the last 5 years, is not a "very small group of billionaires."

I'm not going to comment on the rest. It's common knowledge that blue states pay more into the system than they get, because they are the drivers of the economy, and that red states are welfare queens. Please try to catch up.

EP, What share of taxes in CA and NY are paid by the top 5%? It's common knowledge that many blue states and especially cities rely heavily on a small minority to pay for lavish spending.

Please try to read more than just headlines.

Paying a person SS for example isnt a government handout, these people have paid for that service.senior populations greatly skew the numbers.

Plenty of "red states" have decent ratios, Wyoming for example.

It also doesn't take into account the state's also just by chance happen to have the largest black populations in the country.

You've beleived in a myth.

The blue states for 10 to 20 years now have been pushing this. Somehow they are of the beleif that their wealthy shouldnt have to pay a fair share of federal taxes as long as the state can collect it.

Federal spending in and federal spending out without context is all that is.

So does this mean that States like those on the Gulf Coast and tornado alley are willing to forego all the FEMA aid that blue states send them annually?

Patom, Do you consider your SS as a handout?

Blue staters live in exorbitantly expensive locales and then retire to cheaper red states where they collect SS and Medicare and they screech about how they pay more than their fair share.

Bro isn't that the income taxation scheme most advocate for?
