1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: Hey, you remember the so called state and local tax

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: cap passed by the Republican Congress seen along with Trump's

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: tax cuts. Congress set a cap, or a limit on

4
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: the state local tax deductions that people could take on

5
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: their federal tax returns. Liberals were outraged. They said Republicans

6
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: came up with this cap just to punish Democrats states

7
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 1: with their high state local taxes. Since Blue state residents

8
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: couldn't deduct those taxes anymore, taxpayers would start pressuring Democrats

9
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: or run their states to lower their taxes. It's unfair.

10
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: Four states, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Maryland sued.

11
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 1: They argued that Congress had no right to limit state

12
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: and local tax deductions because it was an evil plot

13
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: to force these blue states into changing their tax policies.

14
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: It was unconstitutional and mean spirited, they said. Well, on Monday,

15
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: a federal judge rubbed salt into liberals wounds. A district

16
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: judge has smissed the suit, ruling that the Blue states

17
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: presented no constitutional principle preventing Congress from imposing a cap

18
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: on tax deductions. The Republican Congress acted within their constitutional authority.

19
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, the brother of Fredo, said

20
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: that his state is going to evaluate their options for

21
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: an appeal, but for now, liberal rage liberal ideology took

22
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: a back seat to the law. It's a rare good

23
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: day for justice.
