10. Why should a state that pays more into the Federal government to support other states that don't

have their SALT deductions capped. They are already paying more than their fair share as it is, to the Federal government. There are some states that pay nothing into the federal government, pay next to nothing, if at all, in state tax, and get more back. It's ridiculous, and unfair. Trump needed to get money for his tax cuts, so he went after the Blue States, the ones that didn't vote for him, no coincidence there. I really hope, that after the 2020 election, Blue States get together and start working to change what is going on now. It's the same with the Electoral college...we have Trump because of it. 3.3 Million more people voted for Hillary...but he "won".
Land counts more than people? Something is really wrong, and needs to be changed.
