Starting with restoring full exemption of state and municipal taxes to ALL states for income tax purposes?
Am I correct in thinking it's too late to stop the partial exemption ($10,000) for 2018 taxes?

(52,317 posts)we can pass a bill symbolically, but it wouldn't become law.
if we can get the house and senate and white house after 2020, then we can actually start to repair the damage.
in the meanwhile, all we can do with the house is stop more damaging laws from being passed and investigate the crap out of this administration.

(576 posts)Trump use this to make people think Democrats raise taxes for the middle class.
Unfortunately (because fighting back is sin to us somehow) unless we keep repeating and hitting the message that trump and Republicans rose them.
This will start to hit us hard as we have at least one branch of government. Trump may be able to make people feel that we are the enemy.

Yes, it will get a veto. Do what's right for the people and show Trump up for what he really is. Make him say it.

(11,885 posts)They should reverse it, then raise the wealthy rate even more, and give the poor first raises, then the middle class. And keep raising their taxes until the debt starts going down a lot.
