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.
