I think the SALT limit was one of Trump's most brilliant moves. It really hit New Jersey, New York and California because of their high state and property taxes. At the same time it gave his base a tax decrease by making the standard deduction higher. His real brilliance is in his ability to harbor a grudge and get revenge. This hit the Dems where it hurts.

just...listen...to...yourself.
You are proud of the Republicans for targeting a group of people for pain because they didn't vote for Trump. That's anti-American and vile. And you are proud of it.
Biden is out there with programs targeting rural Trump voters - to help them. Aggressively. And you ....come up with this dumpster fire of an argument.

And you admire that trait?
Republicans are weirdos and kooks.

States shouldn't be dumping their tax burdens on the the federal government. How bout you quit voting for people who love high taxes rather than whining about other people not wanting to pay your taxes for you.

oh man you want to reconsider that thought, knowing that the rich blue states subsidize the poor red states? I mean really, you want to take that road and see where it goes? Fine and dandy with me, MS, AL, LA, AR, TN, etcetera.
You stop having educated blue staters pay your taxes for you and we are good. Maybe we can cut some federal taxes without having to carry the freeloaders in the red states.

From that fact check, showing the lazy dependent poors in the red states sucking away money from the hard working Dems:
Mississippi received $2.13 for every tax dollar the state sent to Washington in 2015, according to the Rockefeller study. West Virginia received $2.07, Kentucky got $1.90 and South Carolina got $1.71.
Meanwhile, New Jersey received 74 cents in federal spending for tax every dollar the state sent to Washington. New York received 81 cents, Connecticut received 82 cents and Massachusetts received 83 cents.16 -

So true.
Raising the minimum wage has the exact opposite effect liberals think it does. They proved this in Seattle.
Seattle poverty rate 12.2%
All of the following states with their measly minimum wage rates have the following poverty rates.
Mississippi poverty rate 19.58%
West Virginia poverty rate 17.1%
Kentucky poverty rate 16.61%
Arkansas poverty rate 16.01%
Stay in your room alone, angry and wrong YET again 😏😏😏

It takes a long time to recover from Democrat rule. Democrats set blacks and the South back 150 years.

Watching you not understand the simplest concepts amuses me. Why would I be angry?

Yeah, fun fact: if you compare Gini index by state to the state minimum wage, not only does a higher minimum wage not have a significant positive effect on improving the Gini index, there is actually a slightly negative correlation (re: higher minimum wages led to greater wealth inequality). However, the results were mixed enough that it's more accurate to say that increased minimum wage doesn't improve the wealth inequality situation, rather than say it actively makes it worse.

yet another weakness in our Federal system.
Florida can do a massive giant power gerrymander
but
NY can't do a massive giant power gerrymander
This goes along with minority rule by Republicans. Just fundamentally unfair.
Rs would be storming capitol buildings if they had to put up with this.
BREAKING: The New York Court of Appeals, the state's highest court, has voided congressional and State Senate maps drawn by Democrats that would have benefited their candidates.

Quite possible that you are confusing cause and effect.

Were you voicing your concern when Obama and the weaponized IRS were targeting conservatives because they didn't vote for him? That WAS anti-American and vile. Were you proud of that or did you condem it?

Today's announcement that the US economy shrank in the first quarter is not good news. We shall see what the next quarter brings.
If we dip into recession, that is always bad for the party in power, regardless of the reason for the recession (it IS the main reason Trump lost in 2020...unfortunate that we had to have a recession to get that POS out of office, but he had a good chance of being re-elected without that recession).
So, today some of you Trumpers can crow if you wish. Seems silly to me, but that's your low level of thinking, so I get it.
If you were really being honest with yourselves though, 2022 was already almost for sure going to swing heavily toward Republicans even without a potential recession. You would have been much better off with a recession leading up to 2024 than 2022. Recessions don't typically come every other year, so if we have one in 2022, it's not likely we will have another one in 2024, though we DID just have one in 2020, so it could happen.

Under Trump 191,000 new jobs were being created each month.
Inflation never went above 1.75%. Biden took the 1.75% and more than quadrupled it to its current 8.5%.
The unemployment rate went from a high of 10% under Obama down to 3.5% under Trump.
Real median household income was higher under Trump than at any time under the Obama presidency.
The stock market soared under Trump. Under Biden it is now tanking.
The number of Covid deaths in 2020 under Trump was lower than the number of Covid deaths under Biden in 2021 even though Trump had no vaccines and Biden had 3 that Trump handed to him.

Of course we won't have a recession in 2024. Republicans will control both houses of Congress and will have negated the damage that Biden has done and will continue to attemp to do to the American economy. The grown-ups will be back in charge.
