WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh Oct 02, 2019 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.440 Hey, you remember the so called state and local tax 0:00:02.560 --> 0:00:06.320 cap passed by the Republican Congress seen along with Trump's 0:00:06.320 --> 0:00:10.440 tax cuts. Congress set a cap, or a limit on 0:00:10.520 --> 0:00:13.840 the state local tax deductions that people could take on 0:00:13.880 --> 0:00:19.040 their federal tax returns. Liberals were outraged. They said Republicans 0:00:19.120 --> 0:00:22.200 came up with this cap just to punish Democrats states 0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:25.760 with their high state local taxes. Since Blue state residents 0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:30.160 couldn't deduct those taxes anymore, taxpayers would start pressuring Democrats 0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:33.360 or run their states to lower their taxes. It's unfair. 0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:38.720 Four states, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Maryland sued. 0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:42.520 They argued that Congress had no right to limit state 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:45.800 and local tax deductions because it was an evil plot 0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:49.600 to force these blue states into changing their tax policies. 0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:54.560 It was unconstitutional and mean spirited, they said. Well, on Monday, 0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:59.480 a federal judge rubbed salt into liberals wounds. A district 0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:02.960 judge has smissed the suit, ruling that the Blue states 0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:08.399 presented no constitutional principle preventing Congress from imposing a cap 0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:14.200 on tax deductions. The Republican Congress acted within their constitutional authority. 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:18.319 New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, the brother of Fredo, said 0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:21.000 that his state is going to evaluate their options for 0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:25.840 an appeal, but for now, liberal rage liberal ideology took 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:28.560 a back seat to the law. It's a rare good 0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:29.679 day for justice.
