California Never Forgets

Just did our taxes and thanks mostly to the Republican tax bill — which caps state and local property and income tax deductions at a “mere” 10k — we are getting soaked by the Feds this year.

10k in property and state income taxes probably sounds like a lot in some parts of the country. But many people in California pay several times that number and often many times that number.

In our case, we were “disallowed” about 30k in property tax and income tax deductions!

Now that tax season has come and gone, and the extent of the carnage is clear, Trump probably won’t dare show his sorry ass in the state of California ever again.

As they say in A Game of Thrones, “California never forgets.”

This crap is like pouring high octane gasoline on the idea of separation.

People are corporations.

Reverse the equation.

Sent in jest but could it work?
