To the Editor,
In 2018 when President Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act into law, the SALT cap limited the amount of state and local deductions which a homeowner could declare on their income to $10,000.
The “Big Beautiful Bill” that became law last July raised the cap to $40,000. What Congressman Lawler, Mr. SALT, as his new BFF calls him, fails to mention is the cap was set to expire at the end of 2025 anyway.
If Mr. SALT never voted for the ”Big Beautiful Bill” not only would we have NO cap on our property tax deductions, we also wouldn’t have millions of people losing their health coverage and millions more having their health care costs dramatically raised. These hardships facing working families are due to the Republicans’ making massive cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace coverage. In addition, their cuts and changes to SNAP make it much harder for families to afford the seemingly endless rise grocery in prices.
The war’s cost to us taxpayers bothers neither Trump (“I don’t think about American’s financial situations.”) nor Lawler, who recently stated that soaring gas prices caused by the war are “absolutely worth it” to eliminate threats from Iran.
Don’t be fooled by these two silver tongued demons, who are pretending the Trump agenda is somehow benefitting working families. The math is not in their favor. Let’s vote out MAGA Mike Lawler and replace him with someone who will work for our common good.
Sincerely,
Wendy Holtzman
