    Right. To help pay for large corporate tax cuts. They capped the state tax deduction at $10k. Meaning people who pay significantly more than that, will pay more in taxes on the plan. And most of those people are small business owners. Nice work!!

    Why should someone who lives in the People's Republic of California have any greater ability to deduct state taxes than someone who lives in, like, Wyoming or Washington where there isn't any state income tax?

    The $10K cap is more than a fair compromise.

    To the uneducated. There was a standard amount based on your income to add if you lived in Washington to deduct for income tax. Plus they allowed you to deduct sales tax on large purchases. To "level the playing field" as you suggest.
    So, what you're saying is Washington residents were capped by whatever the standard deduct for their taxable income but Cali residents weren't.

    The sales tax deduction was a fraction of what state income tax payers were allowed to take as a deduction.

    For someone at the $200K income range, 1 Exemption, the 'standard' sales tax deduction for 2017 was $1,886

    And that's comparable to a Cali resident who could take the full boat deduction on their, let's say, 5% state income tax (actually way higher but we'll keep it simple) of around $10,000 plus?!?!

    Maff sucks, I know. For the uneducated.


    Nega, please.




    Plus sales tax on large purchases. I think your $1,886 is low because mine was higher than that in 16. But I don't give enough shits to look it up.
    So you're in favor of regressive sales taxes that also encourage the poor to go into debt buying things they don't need.

    Yes. Someone's gotta buy the shit, and I pay enough in taxes. I don't need to help my brother kewg live out his golden years in comfort down in Salem any more than I already have.

    Let me be clear: I want to keep what I earn in the FREE market place (real or pretend), and I want to share it with NOBODY. I don't care about other people's problems.

    I'm a REAL conservative. Most of these bananas are union-loving protectionist brown shirt commies who want my stuff w/o having to work for it.
    Selfish POYD IMO!!

    The critique I will always make of your Creepy logic - as much as I agree with some of the sentiment - is that there's always going to be a high social cost (i.e., crime, drug abuse, etc.) associated with too many of your brothers in Aberdeen, Salem, etc. sitting around on their asses with nothing to do. We have to DO SOMETHING to figure out how we are going to get working age males (blacks and whites) back into the labor market.
    No!!!!!!!!!! "WE" don't have to do anything. If you're losing sleep over it, it sounds like you and your row boat friends need to DO SOMETHING.

    I'll take care of me; you take care of you and whatever else you care about.

    That, my freng, is the American way. I didn't write the rules. My immigrant family and I just read them, played by them, and won ... BIGLY.
    I don't like to see you come out to this clean country with your oily hair, dressed up in those silk suits, rooting for the Miami Hurricanes, passing yourselves off as decent Americans.

    Now that's a quote! Was there a more despicable character than Senator Geary? When he turns that toy cannon around on the desk and points it at Michael? Fuck. I always say out loud at that part, "nice move dumbshit. you just signed your papers." Then, the whorehouse thing ... and he's in his pocket.

    What a fucking movie.

    Fuck off. State's rights buddy boy. Just like Scalia argued for years in his abortion case dissents. He never said once that it should be federally banned. He always positioned his argument on state's rights. Whether he was being disingenuous or not, I'll leave to you.

    If the ability to use a hoover and a spoon relative to "sanctity of life" matters is merely a function of hitting the right state line, then surely the far less aggressive extension of governmental in personam jurisdiction to tax must be left to the states.

    Why do you hate the federal republic man? Why? Why?

    Let us build our loop holes and mind your own business. Please.
    I'm sorry you hate maff too.

    One word: states' rights.
    So the federal government has more right California has less rights to one's income than a person in Montana.

    Speak Engrish, man. Or use Excel.

    Math isn't a state's rights issue. If you want to tax the fuck out of your state, go for it. But you shouldn't get credit for it at a higher tax benefit than a non-tax-the-fuck-out-state at the federal level.

    Federal taxes are confiscatory, by definition.

    Other than for defense, what if anything worthwhile does it pay for? Californians already pay a disproportionate share of the money to pay for the boondoggles you apparently support.

    My state and local taxes pay for public, health, safety, roads, water and power.

    Shut the wasteful, useless federal government down.
    About half of the money to fix your roads and pay for your healthcare comes from the Feds.
    And when your state starts burning again, other states will have to bail your ass out...again.

    But other than that... Spot on as always.

    Where does the federal government get that money? Who pays most of it? CA doesn’t need federal charity. Why can’t you pay your own way?

    Quit taking Federal Highway and Medicare/aid funds and then pop off.

    Or just crackle.

    Or abundance.
