(561 posts)on property tax, , Home Equity, etc. Trump wanted to punish Blue States and he did. We are paying for his tax cuts to the 1%. This really hit us hard this year, never expected it could be this bad, but it is.
I am so fed up. States like ours pay a great deal into the Federal government, and get so much less back, while some Red states don't even pay into the Federal government and get back so much more. Drives me nuts when they complain about "taxes" and how "they are paying" for people who get "welfare", always bragging how they want to be independent of the government, then they take with both hands. They don't have a clue do they?
I wish the Blue States would get together, and start demanding all states should pay an equal amount to the Federal government. It's not fair that our states should carry the burden.
