In today’s Wall Street Journal, they blow the lid off of a rather shocking proposal by Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., and four other members of New York’s House caucus:
One irony of the tax increase that arrives on January 1 is that the it will hit residents of high-income, Democratic-leaning states like California, Connecticut, New Jersey and New York the hardest. This is a problem for pro-tax Democrats.
Enter New York Representative Jerrold Nadler, who wants to exempt his own six-figure constituents from the tax hike he supports. Mr. Nadler’s bill would “require the IRS to adjust tax brackets proportionally in regions where the average cost of living is higher than the national average.â€
In other words, the various tax brackets would apply to residents in certain regions at higher income levels versus other parts of the country. A family with an income of $50,000 or even $1 million in Manhattan would pay less federal income tax than a family with the same earnings in Omaha. The bill is called the Tax Equity Act, but a more accurate title would be the Blue State Tax Preference Act.

I'm not sure, but it seems like there was something in the constitution about this. I know that wouldn't matter to DemonRats, though.

Yes, there a whole pleathora in the Constitution on this. But all that was before The ReichsMessiah began his Fundamental Transformation of AmericaTM

Let me see if I get this right.
The liberals/democrats like all these social programs. They then have to find a way to pay for them so they extor .. errr, tax their constituents to pay for the programs. Soon, very soon, the programs expand and get more pricey so they tax some more. Not long after the programs get so unwieldy they can't pay for them and then their states get in trouble.
Now, their state is in trouble but they still want the programs so ..... they reach out for more money, from the federal coffers. BUT they realize that in so doing they will be taxing their own constituents MORE for their failed programs so ... they exempt their people and force the rest of us to pay for programs we don't have and aren't bankrupting our states.
Is that how it works?

The first Civil War was based on high, unfair taxes as much as it was the northern states wanting to eliminate their means of paying those higher taxes.

Typical of lefties. We need to shut up and pay our taxes. They need not pay any taxes. :banghead:

They can't do that. All those Democrat states are in a sorry state like California and Michigan.

Wouldn't the 14th. ammendment equal rights and protections clause protect against this, seeing as it disadvantages one region and harms another. I smell a second Nullification Crisis in the works.

More like a second Secession if the Supreme Court didn't overturn this this most ricky-tick.
