Democrats Seek to Spread Tax Burden Across States via SALT Deduction Expansion

A bipartisan group of Democrats is pushing to reinstate the SALT deduction, a provision that would allow high-tax states to deduct their state and local taxes from federal taxes, potentially shifting the tax burden onto low-tax states like Florida. This move is seen as a way to benefit wealthy taxpayers in states like California and New York while burdening middle-class residents in low-tax states. The proposal has sparked controversy, as critics argue it would create budget shortfalls that could lead to higher taxes for the majority of Americans.
