It's wild to watch the Democrats argue in favor of preserving tax advantages for the top income tiers. Ie arguing for regressive tax policies and for preventing taxes from going up to where they should be on high income persons. And not just argue, but invent ridiculous schemes to try to maintain that special tax treatment for well-off people.

88% of the SALT deductions were going to households earning over $100,000. 1% were going to households earning $50,000 or less. The tilt is obvious: this was a tax benefit for better off persons, a way for higher income earners to avoid paying the full high tax rates in states like New York and California.

This is an extremely ugly hypocrisy as it pertains to what their platform is supposedly all about. I've yet to see very many prominent people on the left, either politicians or media, call it out. It also defangs the left's ability to pursue Republicans for their favoritism toward high income brackets regarding taxes: they're plainly arguing & working to preserve a tax cut for higher income earners.
