US national policy issues looming after healthcare?

No, no affiliation with with the Koch Bros. When I click the link, it brings up the middle class tax, as defined by CNBC, savings per state. Many high earning individuals in high tax states are considering moving because of the increases in their taxation.

I understand you believe what you've been told. It might have even been true--a long time ago. Now carry on. Be happy. And pay up.

Using results from the 2012 presidential election, WalletHub ranked each state from 1 to 50 — with 1 being the least dependent state and 50 being the most dependent state. Here's what they found:

It’s not just that some states are getting way more in return for their federal tax dollars, but the disproportionate amount of federal aid that some states receive allows them to keep their own taxes artificially low. That's the argument WalletHub analysts make in their 2014 Report on Best and Worst States to Be a Taxpayer.

Show me a study with federal income taxes paid by states vs. dollars received by states corrected for all state, local and property tax deductions that shows how much Washington is getting fvcked by California and New York, or else just STFU and admit you just indiscriminatingly slurp up all the right-wing propaganda goo.

The truth is that we all just got fvcked-over by Trump and the Republican Congress so they could give a big gift to their corporate and mega-wealthy campaign donors. And the big fvck-you to blue states with the repeal of the SALT deduction might make your partisan nipples hard, but it won’t help Washington state and it will likely increase your tax bill.

So congratulations Lituya, like a good conservative, you are applauding another Republican con that works against your own best interests.

You sound very angry Lennox. And a bit childish too.

Why should the rest of the country get short-changed because CA and NY tax the sh#t out of their residents? Why should Washington State, where I live, subsidize choices made by you? Anyway, glad y'all could once again twist words to fit your worldview--and then commence the requisite libtard circle-jerk.

It's a Christmas gift the middle class might want to give back in a few years.

The Republican tax overhaul bestows an initial infusion of cash on nearly every taxpayer next year. That extra income is likely to please millions of households, support consumer spending and perhaps give the economy a short-term lift.

Ordinary households should enjoy it while it lasts. Over the next several years, multiple analyses of the law have found, those tax cuts will gradually fade — and then morph into tax hikes for a majority of people who are solidly middle class.


The rising debt could eventually force spending cuts to social and educational programs that serve many who aspire to join the middle class. Trump and House Speaker Paul Ryan have both raised the prospect of reducing spending on social services next year, with Ryan specifically mentioning changes to Medicare.

Trump, Republican lawmakers and their allies are betting that higher take-home pay from the tax cuts will shore up public support for a law that poll show a sizable number of Americans view unfavorably. They also appear confident that ordinary Americans will have no objection if corporations and the wealthy receive the bulk of the tax-cut gains so long as middle class households, on average, also receive some benefits.

More than 80 percent of taxpayers will receive a tax cut in 2018, according to an analysis by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center.

These tax cuts skew most heavily toward the top 5 percent of earners. This group — with incomes starting at $307,900 — would collect 42.6 percent of the tax cuts. By 2027, they would enjoy no less than 99.2 percent of the tax cuts.
