CBS Whines About Tax Law’s Impact on Blue States, No Mention of Crazy Spending

[See NewsBusters for more.] The journalists at CBS This Morning on Wednesday whined about the impact that the new Republican tax law will have on blue states, singling out New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and California. Yet, incredibly, reporter Alex Wagner’s entire report managed to never mentioned that these states have the highest taxes in the country and are wildly in debt. Wagner noted that the tax law will put a $10,000 cap on state and local deductions  (known as S.A.L.T). On average, residents in New Jersey deduct around $18,000. Co-host John Dickerson explained that these four states have “the highest deduction claims.” Why might that be? He didn’t say. Wagner worried, “With a cap on SALT deductions, millions of Americans may end up seeing a tax increase.”
