The flip side to this coin is those of us living in non income states subsidizing the high state income taxes in places like CA. When prison guards are getting those ridiculous pensions, it tells me the average CA tax payer is being overbilled (yes, this is an over generalization, but you get the idea).CirrhosisDawg said:It’s clear where US law is headed in the absence of any sensible public policy direction.
— thoughtless GOP tax reform (under which cal taxable income earners of $200k pay an additional $2,000 per person or so subsidy to red states)
— isolationist economic and trade policies
— mindless nationalist, populist and “Christian” rentrenchment.
Troomps need educated, skilled and productive California more than we need you.
I am a Californian.
The tax code is like the Papacy selling indulgences and in general it should be made to be as neutral as possible.

So being a statist is better than being a nationalist. Got it.CirrhosisDawg said:It’s clear where US law is headed in the absence of any sensible public policy direction.

Eliminating the state tax deduction is brilliant

Agree. the vast majority of CA will see why federalism is the answer.RaceBannon said:Eliminating the state tax deduction is brilliant
Ryan losing the house is the most likely scenario.
The uneducated, unskilled and unproductive don’t want CA’s benevolence.
It’s time to let them all go. Good luck.

There’s a path to a rational tax and spending policy. Unfortunately, It’s not happening any time soon with the DC shit show.YellowSnow said:

CA independence. -
Question for your busted liver Dawg: What state in the US would you say received the largest share (on a per capita basis) of Cold War era defense spending (which was critical to said state becoming the economic powerhouse that it is today)? Tax payer largesse is a 2 way street throughout our history.CirrhosisDawg said:

What about deductions relating to ownership of real estate? What would you do there?RaceBannon said:Eliminating the state tax deduction is brilliant

I think the home mortgage deduction is good public policy. But doubling the standard deduction may make that un necessary. Most middle class wage earners don't have anything other than the home interest to deduct
Simplify means getting rid of most deductions and lowering rates. -
Understood. Post WWII and cold war military spending created a pyrrhic cal economy: George, Norton, Sacramento, alameda, el segundo, et al all closed. I lived through it. Point is CA reformed and educated itself. We didn’t bitch and cry like today’s entitled white trash. Led by our institutions of higher education, we re-skilled and once again lead the world economy based on an entirely revamped and highly skilled work force. Troomps can fuck off. They will get what they deserve. Ultimately.YellowSnow said:
