1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: Four liberal states, New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Maryland

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: are suing the Trump administration are demanding more tax cuts.

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,719
Speaker 1: I kid you not. Now, in the old days, not

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,079
Speaker 1: that long ago, people could deduct their high state and

5
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: local taxes on their federal tax forms, and it was

6
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: an unlimited deduction. But the new tax law from Trump

7
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: caps the deduction at ten thousand dollars. And many of

8
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: these states pay way more than ten thousand dollars in

9
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: local and state taxes. Now, these states, they are really

10
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: mad that the Feds will not subsidize their high taxes anymore.

11
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: The lawsuit claims that Trump's change will hurt property values

12
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: and hurt job creation. Worse, it'll hurt state budgets because

13
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,599
Speaker 1: these taxpayers are gonna start paying attention to state spending,

14
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: which they can't have that. And they're really, really, really

15
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: mad because they say Republicans did all this on purpose

16
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,279
Speaker 1: to hurt Democrat run high tax states. Now, legally, it's

17
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,639
Speaker 1: hard to see how they expect to win this. The

18
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: Feds make federal law except for immigration, well, they make it,

19
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: but everybody breaks it. So until they cut their own taxes,

20
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 1: these liberals are going to be singing a blue state

21
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: blues for a long time to come. I guess it's

22
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: what happens when the Russians medal in the elections.
