Blue States Need To Go On A Low SALT Diet

Who would have ever thought that high tax states like California, New Jersey and New York are in full scheming mode
Not to reduce spending and thereby reduce the burden of their crushing state tax load
And thereby keeping residents from voting with their feet by migrating to low cost states
No they want to benefit the small portion of taxpayers mostly wealthy that itemize to lower their rates
We no longer hear the cry of the rich must pay their fare share
Help them evade federal taxes because a cap on SALT is just not fair
Other than the weather what is the attraction for high income taxpayers to in California  stay?
When you could cross the border into Nevada with no state income tax to pay
The tax cuts were blasted by all the Blues, did not receive a single Blue vote
A massive tax cut for the benefit of the large corporations and to the middle class increased prosperity remote
Mere crumbs that in five years assuming Congress would be dumb enough the cuts rescind
Would be paid back in higher taxes ignores completely the strong political headwinds
Now the Blue governors are heading to court and also to pass state bills
To let the rich evade taxes and add more national debt to the federal till
