Not only do they finally seem to realize that GOP leadership acts in bad faith, but they even came to the defense of their state that is usually s*&^ on by the right and called their low tax facade out for what it is.

"New Yorkers already send far more to Washington than we get back"unlike many so-called low-tax' states that depend heavily on federal largesse," the statement said. "A higher SALT cap isn't a luxury. It's a matter of fairness."

Ouch! Shots fired!

It's a matter of fairness.

They don't care about fair. They only care about billionaires.

Period.

Someone has to pay for the corporate tax cut and those people are middle class taxpayers.

As much as I hate Elise Stefanik, which is an amount of hate equal to a bulldozer rolling over Rachel Corrie, we should be able to deduct SALT from our Federal taxes.
