Cuomo says East Coast states will sue feds, looking to thwart key piece of tax overhaul

Republicans can not tax people only democrats can tax people

If people can sue the federal government based on unfair taxes, then I think tobacco users have a hell of a case.

Wonder if taking away people's $2000 tax return would be unpopular in the low tax rate states?
....betting that that the DNC is telling Cuomo to STFU

Great point, that's what they are arguing singling out one group of tax payers, us smokers and beer drinkers would have a field day with this

How arrogant is this? He wants to be part of the Resistance and try and overturn federal laws. Why have a president and government then? Can everyone in the state sue New York for taxing them at all? Sounds like he wants to spit in the face of any law he doesn't like.


Cuomo says East Coast states will sue feds, looking to thwart key piece of tax overhaul

New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Friday that a coalition of East Coast states will sue the federal government over the Trump-signed tax overhaul, in the latest bid to undermine the law that Republicans have cheered.

The states -- New York, New Jersey and Connecticut -- appear to be taking aim at a provision that limits residents' state and local tax deduction (SALT) to $10,000. While the law contains sweeping tax rate cuts for businesses and individuals, taxpayers in high-tax states like those in the Northeast are expected to take a hit from the SALT change.

Cuomo called it an "economic missile."

"The elimination of full state and local deductibility is a blatantly partisan and unlawful attack on New York that uses our hardworking families and tax dollars as a piggy bank to pay for tax cuts for corporations and other states,” Cuomo said in a statement. “This coalition will take the federal government to court to protect our residents from this assault."

It is not the responsibility of taxpayers in other states to pay for a tax break for people living in blue states. Change the composition of your state legislatures by voting Republican and getting tax relief at state level.

Of course. What was one of the first things DumBama did after he invaded the White House? He levied a huge tax on tobacco products to fund SCHIP's.
