This was still a President targeting a certain group of Americans bc they didnt vote for him.

Tax ALL the rich.

The thing with salt and why it’s generally associated with blue states is the tax policy of those states. But people take the salt deduc all over the country…most likelly wealthy counties. Florida, North Carolina, Virginia…all over. The main problem with blue states and overbearing tax policy, combined with out of controlled spending… is folks in California and New York were leaving. Instead of belt tightening which never seems to be an option…they want no accountability, it’s ALWAYS bigger government.

Why is accountability never the answer here? Accountability within federal, state and city government should be the number 1 goal in taxing and spending policy.

Like why is there hundreds of billions not spent, sitting in the coffers of state and city governments from previous covid bailout bills? Shouldn’t we be asking these questions?

I just don’t think folks know or even care about these numbers.
