There are maybe 4 or 5 house seats tops across CA, NJ, NY, CT and MA where the SALT repeal might make a difference.
So letās not insult anyones intelligence justifying the repeal as some kind of āsmart politicsā
And before anyone asks I would save thousands every year from this repeal so this aināt some ājealous muchā position.

I bet you can ask people that makes $60k a year and have not itemized ever and at least half would think SALT applies to them so they are for the deduction.
Iām serious.
There are like 100,000 people who get 90%+ of the benefit from SALT, all in states that have zero chance of going red, itās just naked corruption

With the new std deduction of $25.1k your looking at people whoās income tax and property tax are more than that.
Thatās typically a family making 250k+ and owning a home worth 600k+.
This is a core Dem constituency, the white collar office job class that is desperately clinging to the last shreds of American middle class lifestyles.

House Dems are saying fuck it and putting 4 weeks of paid leave back in the bill. Not what it should be, but good, let Manchin vote no, fuck it, who cares

Manchinās ideal bill would have at least one Republican voting for it while Bernie Sanders votes against it. Every time Bernie signals he is still on board, Manchin moves to the right.
