This is why you can deduct local income tax or local sales tax. It is meant to equalize bros living in high tax lib states from those who live in Omaha or Bismarck where taxes are 3%. GOP plans to end this deduction will punish the foolish libs in blue states who have lived off of taxpayer largesse and built unsustainable handout states.

Right but taxes aren't the only thing; COL isn't taken into account

On the other hand, there's no reason that high prices in MFH should be subsidized by the Treasury

Really all I want for my base salary is to be able to spend large amounts of money on limited edition horror comic book anthologies

I don't demand yachts or anything like that

When the graduated income tax was being instituted, one of the arguments was that it would hit overpaid Yankees in places like NY especially hard.

How good are they if you have to fork over a huge portion of your salary for the privilege of working them?

True

Actually some have claimed that the ability to go to the opera is a benefit that should be calculated in income, like through a Black-Scholes model

James C. Scott wrote a whole book about this. He said it was the main reason people end up rebelling against governments, even if the rebellions fail.
