Voi sitä kaksinaismoralismin määrää Yhdysvalloissa

Eli samalla, vanhasta tutulla, juonella jatketaan. Ensiksi luvataan reilumpaa verotusta, jossa tukitaan suuryritysten verovälttely ja poistetaan superrikkaiden verotuksen porsaanreiät. Mutta sitten kun päästään valtaan niin se on sitä samaa vanhaa. Sen lauluja laulat, kenen leipää syöt!

"They are hoping to repeal the $10,000 annual cap on the state and local tax deduction (Salt), which enables residents of high tax states to offset what they pay locally against their federal income taxes. Almost all the beneficiaries of scrapping the cap would be rich. The cost to the taxpayer would amount to $91bn a year, which would more than wipe out the income tax increases the wealthy would have to pay under the Democratic plan. The wealthiest 0.1 per cent would get an average $145,000 tax cut. For the middle 60 per cent of households, it would be $27 a year."

"This is not just bad economics — it is hard to find a single economist on the left or right who thinks it would be a good idea. It is also terrible politics. In 2017 Democrats found a popular echo in attacking the inequities of Donald Trump’s $1.5tn tax cut. But the repeal of the Salt tax cap would be far more regressive than Trump’s tax cut."
