House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is pushing for a new stimulus bill that would roll back the state and local tax deduction (SALT), a proposal that would predominately help wealthy individuals -- including most residents in Pelosi's district and perhaps even Pelosi herself. A 2019 report from the Joint Committee on Taxation projected that of those who would face lower tax liability from the elimination of the SALT cap – which only affects those who itemize tax deductions – 94 percent earn at least $100,000.

Comments:

Nancy Pelosi MUST lose the Speaker's job!

She needs to be publicly and regularly embarrassed for the rest of her "career."

The SALT deduction hurt the east/west coast progs the most. It is top of their agenda. I'm surprised she didn't put in their fake Wuhan flu relief bill she tried to foist on us last week. Benefits for billionaires/millionaires.

This attempt is perfectly aligned with who the dems REALLY are. They are people who are leeches on the political system, sucking out power and money. The limits on SALT deductions prevent states that abusively tax their citizens from passing the effects of that abuse to the federal level. We were subsidizing California and New York's inflated and excessive taxes. Further, the richer you are, the more you benefited from the pass through.

She is just the most obvious of the "enrich thyself through legislation" politicians. Keep this in mind when considering to vote for an incumbent, especially one that has been in Washington for more than 10 years.

While Nasty Piglosi is the Speaker, its high time to make her irrelevant. Time for others to be exposed as well for their blatant efforts to destabilize our nation. When one sees the ACTUAL timeline of events since January, the demonrat socialists were the the once focused solely on a FAKE, UNSUBSTANTIATED impeachment agenda TO THE EXCLUSION OF ALL ELSE in an effort of foot-dragging, stonewalling and delay timed to ruin the President's election chances. Their propagandists in the media have been in lockstep with these efforts. The Russians and Saudis flooding the market with oil hurts our oil industry, but the hiding and corruption of the Chi-Coms, WHO and the CDC to report the FACTS in a timely manner, but their efforts have been exposed as they seek to have their way by crashing EVERYONE. They current 'crisis' was taken advantage of to load corrective action to help citizens with LOADS OF PORK, which was NOT needed. PIglosi ALREADY has a list of crap to try to pass to radically change things--We The People MUST NOT LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT again.

Fascinating. 'Dem lyin' dims keep talking about how the tax cuts only helped the wealthy, but obviously they didn't. The wealthy took a big hit when they lost all of these deductions. Unfortunately for SanFranNan, many of those wealthy are her constituents, so damn the ideology and the previous lies, full speed ahead. Her name should live in infamy. Come on people, get out to vote in November and force her to get off her broom and hand over the gavel to brother Kevin.

When wealthy Democrats in high-tax Blue States were able to deduct every penny of SALT, the poor saps in fly-over Red States had to make up the difference. This was a classic case of wealth transfer from the poor to the wealthy. The Democrats want to return to full deductibility because they don't give a rat's patootie about America's Middle Class.

Calling Nancy's district wealthy is a gross oversimplification. While a couple of the neighborhoods are wealthy enclaves, they are surrounded by other neighborhoods where poverty, gangs, drugs, bums, and crime are everywhere. Visit the Mission District and the primary impression you take away will probably not be 'wealthy'. Though some neighborhoods are FAR worse (Bayview, Hunter's Point, the Tenderloin), the freaky, funky, semi-psychotic soup of human extremes in her district can, at best, be characterized a "culturally rich".

I thought Nancy was okay with the Karl Marx concept of from each according to their means and to each according to their needs? I guess not. Look close at the recent stimulus and you'll see all sorts of things that benefit Nancy's husband, Paul, and his various businesses: like canning tuna for StarKist in Samoa, his grape growing farms, his winery, real estate leasing, etc. She has disclosed on her Federal employee disclosure form to be worth $39 million but most place their worth together to be closer to $120 million.

No, Pelosi! The democrat-run ''hot spots'' are already getting the lion's share of resources, paid for by all of us. States with no state income tax, which are well-run and managed much better, get no federal tax relief. I suggest that the blue states with high taxes should look to their own budgets to identify reduced spending. Their taxpayers will approve!

What they should do is index it for varying cost of living, but max-out at $20,000. This would better suit what's considered middle-class in places like NY and CA, for instance. And, everyone seems to get something, if it's not crop subsidies, it's something else, so it's not just that SALT would be a gift to millionaires and billionaires. Again, index it to reflect standards of living in places like CA and NY, but cap it at $20K, that should keep it within most folks.

The 10,000 maximum for SALT deduction was the revenge of Republican America. Let New York and California pay for their state and local taxes. If you pay 10,000 it means you are rich enough. Pay.

As we reported two days ago, Joe Biden completely made no sense when he was trying to explain the Wuhan coronavirus relief bill. It was really bad and it explains why they’re afraid to have him deliver an address to Congress or do any kind of a real solo press conference, because at this point they have to be afraid this is all going to fall apart if he does anything live and this all becomes too obvious to the American people. But there’s only so long that they can hold this off. And it’s getting worse, as video today revealed. Biden was holding an event to announce the nomination

Nancy Pelosi’s top priority is to turn America into a one-party nation ruled by Democrats. Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab. The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote. Noncitizens are obligated to identify themselves and opt out,

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.
