Well, according to the Dems, we're all gonna die now. So... nice knowin' ya. Have fun spending your cash before you go.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

- Thomas Jefferson

It looks like high earners in high tax states like NY and CA will not be able to deduct as much of their state and local taxes. Trump will not get their votes next time! Oh wait, they always vote Democrat! Never mind.




Nice summary

Individual State and Local Tax Deductions

Current law: Individuals can deduct the state and local taxes they pay, but the value is subject to certain limits for high earners.

Proposed: Individuals can deduct no more than $10,000 worth of the deductions, which could include a combination of property taxes and either sales or income taxes.
Mortgage Interest Deduction

Current law: Deductible mortgage interest is capped at loans of $1 million.

Proposed: Deductible mortgage interest for new purchases of first or second homes would be capped at loans of $750,000 starting on Jan. 1, 2018.

"The Rich" Figure Out That The Tax Bill Is Not A Big Giveaway To Them
December 06, 2017/ Francis Menton

The famous Central Newsroom of Progressive Groupthink, located beneath Times Square, has been hard at work the past few months coming up with the official party line and talking point to deal with the tax bill making its way through the Republican-controlled Congress.  And, if you have been even close to awake during this time, you know what the officially-issued line and talking point is: This is a "massive giveaway to the rich."
...


Net, this is going to cost you $100,000 or more per year on your income tax bill. The value of your home could also suffer some serious negative impact from the loss of the interest and income and property tax deductions. 

How again is this a "giveaway to the rich"?
