The Trump tax plan includes an end to the deduction of state and local taxes from federal taxes owed. Under the old existing plan, High income New York City residents can deduct the 12+ percent of state and local taxes and the highest income Californians can deduct over 13%.
Under Trump's tax reform package these deductions would end. Thus, if those tax deductions ended, high income New Yorkers and Californians would, in effect, get a 12%-13% tax INCREASE.
New York and California are two of the most populous states. And the two biggest left-wing liberal states. The majority of lefty liberals live in either NY or CA. And they all hate Trump.
The Trump tax reduction plan, in removing the state and local income tax deduction, punishes liberals in New York and California. Liberals love higher taxes. Let's see how they like paying 12-13% more. Revenge is sweet, bitches.
