Oh don't get me wrong, I'm aware I'm biased. You just picked a bad example. Just because lifting the SALT cap temporarily is politically advantageous, doesn't mean it doesn't help lots of people. All kinds of tax relief are on the table[1][2][3] as part of the Covid response, so why call just this one "political"?

If you live and work in the US, you probably pay US taxes, so you do have a dog in this fight whether you like it or not.
