So you know how the Hollywood Libs, the San Francisco Democrats, and all the rest of the ''Progressive'' Fascists are forever telling the rest of us that we need to ''pay more'' in taxes?
Finally the high tax Lib states have their chance, since the deduction for what they pay in state taxes is going to be limited to something like $10k. One would think they'd be ecstatic about the chance to pay more, right? To be able to further fund the non-responsive, unaccountable, wasteful, incompetent, intrusive bureaucracy they created and love. One would be wrong.
The social justice warriors of our state legislature have apparently set aside their fight for justice over the past couple of weeks in order to brainstorm about how the Leftists who bribe them, er, fund their campaigns, can evade a portion of their federal taxes and avoid paying their fair share.
Since charitable donations remain uncapped, the California State tax return form will be changed to offer the enormously wealthy Democrat taxpayers of our state the chance to ''donate'' funds to the government, and have their taxes reduced by that same amount. So they'll get a full deduction for ''charitable contributions'', instead of having the deduction for the amount paid in tax limited and reduced. The state government will end up getting the same amount.
No doubt the Fake News Media outlets will play up the story - with the narritive being the greed of the Democrat politicians in California and their fatcat contributors, right?
Let's hope the IRS challenges this sham and the Supreme Court slaps down these frauds. Perhaps we could pay down some of the national debt with the back taxes, penalties, and interest on the phony deductions.
