And of course boatloads of federal tax revenue collected from CA, MA, NY,


CT, MD, etc. make their way to state governments, local governments, and federal jobs programs (another word for pork) in poor rural states that don't support themselves and pay much less overall in federal income taxes, medicare, social security, etc. The notion that these HCOL states that export tax revenue to poorer states that don't support themselves are somehow "subisidized" by the poorer states that pay far less in taxes and need more federal help, because taxpayers in the HCOL states get to remove what they pay in SALT from their taxable income has got to be one of the alltime dumbest arguments ever made, here or elsewhere.
