Lifting the SALT cap would benefit about 9 percent of households nationally. There is some geographical variation in that, but even in New Jersey we are talking about fewer than a quarter of households. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Basically the story with the SALT cap is that Paul Ryan and Dave Camp were right on the merits but sold it their caucus with a grossly exaggerated "own the libs" argument, which has confused a handful of blue state Dems into believing they actually got owned. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
In West Virginia, the average taxpayer woud save $0 from raising the SALT cap which is why Manchin opposes it. But if you take a richer state like CA, the average taxpayer saves $0 so things look different. And in a really high tax state like NJ it rises all the way to $0. — PolitiTweet.org

I feel confident that the reason the bill saves the federal black lung disease fund is precisely because Manchin is looking out for his West Virginia constituents. Conservatives, despite occasional rhetorical stabs at populism, remain all-in on plutocracy. — PolitiTweet.org

I acknowledge that’s neither here nor there as a policy matter, but linguistically the whole point of characterizing it as carried interest is to acknowledge it to the compensation a ship’s captain receives for his work. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
The origins of the carry interest concept (which have nothing to do with finance) make it clear that it’s labor compensation. https://t.co/B5ICLES3bm — PolitiTweet.org

It’s east to see why Menendez is hung up on this given that average resident of New Jersey would save $0 per year in taxes from lifting the SALT cap. — PolitiTweet.org

@TrevonDLogan @DocDre @BrendanNyhan Something I really liked about this book on US democracy in comparative context is that it tries to take this point seriously — viewing America as an unusual case of a new democracy with an old constitution. https://t.co/MMTria0iRZ — PolitiTweet.org

It's amazing to me how conservatives just take up the rhetoric of dipshit police abolitionists, but just exclusively on behalf of tax cheats. — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias You seem to think that these processes are smooth and costless for innocent people.

To me, it is bad when people do crimes even if the criminals in question are dentists. — PolitiTweet.org

This is true. When Republicans go to the mattresses to help make it easier for rich people to break the law, some of the rich criminals who they protect are dentists. — PolitiTweet.org

If you want the public to see Republicans' conduct on the burn pit bill as outrageous, then you have to act like you yourself are outraged by it. I think it's pretty outrageous! They themselves agreed that the bill was good right up until they blocked it. — PolitiTweet.org

I don't think we should underrate the political risk Democrats are running here, but one reason for the asymmetry is that a lot of progressive media figures have Hasan's instinct to respond to these kind of events with arch, ironic meta-commentary rather than first-order outrage. — PolitiTweet.org

And the path forward for Democrats should be to try to recruit a larger slate of candidates in places like Iowa, Florida, North Carolina, Texas, and Ohio who'd form a Manchinvik Bloc in the senate and generate more room for maneuver on specific bills. https://t.co/IntqBu9ED8 — PolitiTweet.org
