Hey, you remember the so called state and local tax cap passed by the Republican Congress seen along with Trump's tax cuts. Congress set a cap, or a limit on the state local tax deductions that people could take on their federal tax returns. Liberals were outraged. They said Republicans came up with this cap just to punish Democrats states with their high state local taxes. Since Blue state residents couldn't deduct those taxes anymore, taxpayers would start pressuring Democrats

or run their states to lower their taxes. It's unfair. Four states, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Maryland sued. They argued that Congress had no right to limit state and local tax deductions because it was an evil plot to force these blue states into changing their tax policies. It was unconstitutional and mean spirited, they said. Well, on Monday,

a federal judge rubbed salt into liberals wounds. A district judge has smissed the suit, ruling that the Blue states presented no constitutional principle preventing Congress from imposing a cap on tax deductions. The Republican Congress acted within their constitutional authority. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, the brother of Fredo, said that his state is going to evaluate their options for an appeal, but for now, liberal rage liberal ideology took

a back seat to the law. It's a rare good day for justice.
