Bush plans to eliminate the federal deduction for state and local taxes as part of the tax-code overhaul. This will hurt states such as California and New York the most, that have state income taxes of 9.5 and 6% resepctively.

From the article:

"Supporters of the change insist the disproportionate effect on blue states is a coincidence, but they acknowledge that the proposal could hurt most in states that voted against Bush."

"Let me put it like this: It certainly isn't something that's a discouragement," said one prominent conservative. "Yes, we talked about this. The fact that it hits blue states is not something that's been missed among Republicans."

I am a registered Republican and haven't missed a general election in 40-plus years, and only one primary while away on a vacation.

My wife and I just returned from a month in Europe. My Italian and French are good enough to discuss politics and religion, and most European younger people have a command of the English language. Read More
