We\u2019ve had Representative Nancy Pelosi, (D-Senile), who is worth a good $30 million, say the tax cuts and bonuses that Americans have been getting are just \u201cBread crumbs.\u201d Next we had the People\u2019s Democratic Republic of Kalifornistan start the process of confiscating the money<\/a> businesses will get from the lowered corporate rates. Now we have New York Governor, Andrew Cuomo announce that he and other Blue state governors are going to sue to have the tax cuts declared unconstitutional. Here are the details of Cuomo\u2019s idiocy from Fox News<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Friday that a coalition of East Coast states will sue the federal government over the Trump-signed tax overhaul, in the latest bid to undermine the law that Republicans have cheered.<\/b><\/p>\n The states — New York, New Jersey and Connecticut — appear to be taking aim at a provision that limits residents’ state and local tax deduction (SALT) to $10,000. While the law contains sweeping tax rate cuts for businesses and individuals, taxpayers in high-tax states like those in the Northeast are expected to take a hit from the SALT change.<\/b><\/p>\n To be more specific, it will be people in high tax states who have huge mortgages and make far above the average. In other words, Cuomo\u2019s donor base.<\/p>\n “The elimination of full state and local deductibility is a blatantly partisan and unlawful attack on New York that uses our hardworking families and tax dollars as a piggy bank to pay for tax cuts for corporations and other states,\u201d Cuomo said in a statement. \u201cThis coalition will take the federal government to court to protect our residents from this assault.” <\/b><\/p>\n So Cuomo wants to roll back the tax cuts so that low tax states, which New York isn\u2019t, will continue to subsidize the deep blue liberal high tax states? I don\u2019t think so Tim.<\/p>\n The move has picked up support from Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy and New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, who just replaced Chris Christie.<\/b><\/p>\n “Capping the State and Local Tax deduction had nothing to do with sound policy,” Murphy said. “It is a clear and politically motivated punishment of blue states \u2014 like New Jersey and our neighbors \u2014who already pay far more to the federal government than we receive.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n Murphy is already moving to revoke the constitutional rights of the people of New Jersey. He recently announced that he intends to roll back the 2nd<\/sup> Amendment rights the Jersey Whale restored, reluctantly, and start revoking the limited CCW permits now held by law abiding citizens. This comes right after he announced that he is going to protect criminal aliens over Americans and legal resident aliens. In other words, he\u2019s just another Progressive liberal tyrant.<\/p>\n The lawsuit is just the latest attempt by Democratic governors and other high-profile lawmakers to thwart the tax bill. <\/b><\/p>\n While a number of major companies have announced bonuses tied to the bill, and firms across America are preparing to revise their income tax withholding for workers, Democrats also have downplayed gains for average Americans as “crumbs.”<\/b><\/p>\n Personally, I like my \u201ccrumbs.\u201d Of course, I don\u2019t live in a high tax communist run state, and my mortgage on the Anger Central Primary Dwelling comes in well under the cap. But then, I\u2019m not a filthy rich Progressive Liberal elitist Moonbat. Meanwhile, the various Blue states have been looking at a way to shaft businesses and protect their wealthy Progressive ruling class.<\/p>\n Cuomo has separately floated<\/a> the possibility of largely ending the personal income tax in his state, instead imposing an employer-side payroll tax that’s deductible on federal taxes. This would ease the impact of the SALT cap for employees, though companies would likely adjust wages \u2013 which could be offset with a credit.<\/b><\/p>\n I wonder what the bill will be called. Perhaps the \u201cNew York Full Unemployment Act?\u201d One thing companies have been doing, and it\u2019s escalating, is moving out of these high tax states. Their employees are invited to move with them, but thanks to the policies of people like Cuomo, they can\u2019t find anyone stupid enough to buy their houses. So basically, thanks to the Progressive Liberal Democrats, they\u2019re trapped.<\/p>\n California officials have also raised the possibility of letting residents donate to the state budget, and in return get a dollar-for-dollar tax credit on the full amount of the contribution. Taxpayers would then be able to deduct that \u2018charitable\u2019 contribution from their federal taxes, making up for any loss from the SALT cap. <\/b><\/p>\n And that is going to fail. In the comments in another post regarding this stupid idea<\/a>, a commentator, who is a Certified Public Accountant, remarked that what Kalifornistan is considering is actually, illegal.<\/p>\n Cuomo’s lawsuit announcement did not specify a particular legal avenue of attack, though such a suit could claim the law violates the 14th Amendment by targeting certain classes of people — namely those living in high-tax states. <\/b><\/p>\n And that will fail. Why? There\u2019s nothing keeping these people from leaving. This isn\u2019t going to stop these Progressive Totalitarians from doing everything in their power to Make America Venezuela Again<\/strong>, and they will rely on one of their pet Progressive judges to help them. It will still fail.<\/p>\n Cornell University Professor Michael Dorf, in an article for Verdict<\/a> in December, argued that the law could be deemed unconstitutional if a court found that it targeted Democratic states deliberately — but concluded that such a finding was unlikely. <\/b><\/p>\n \u201cThe question, therefore, is not whether the new cap on SALT deductibility disfavors taxpayers in blue states relative to the prior provision. It clearly does that. The question is whether that differential impact resulted from an invidious congressional motive,\u201d he wrote, before concluding that the courts \u201cprobably won\u2019t\u201d rule that way.<\/b><\/p>\n There\u2019s another reason the courts won\u2019t rule to stop the tax cuts. They aren\u2019t suicidal. The power of the purse, which includes taxation, is strictly in the purview of the United States Congress. If a judge were to say \u201cYou can\u2019t cut taxes\u201d it would essentially end the separation of powers and institute judicial tyranny. Congress will have no choice but to land on judges who tried that.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
