Rep. Mike Lawler discusses the importance of the SALT deduction during ongoing budget negotiations. The $10,000 cap from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is set to expire, potentially allowing unlimited deductions again, which would greatly benefit high-tax states like New York. Lawler emphasizes that providing tax relief is crucial for middle-class families in his district. The debate reveals a sharp divide between red and blue states on tax policy, as Lawler argues that donor states, including his, contribute more to the federal government than they receive while seeking fair treatment in tax legislation.
The SALT cap was used as a pay-for in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and is slated to expire, affecting tax relief for high-tax districts.
Some red state colleagues argue against subsidizing blue state policies, but donor states like New York contribute more to the federal government than they receive.
