• “The SALT cap is terrible tax policy: it upends a long tradition of fiscal federalism; it erodes incentives for homeownership and charitable contributions; it seeks to punish and defund state and local governments that pursue progressive policies, and it imposes a significant marriage penalty. Furthermore, the impact of this tax hike has not been random. It was deliberately aimed at districts like ours, where voters have chosen to fund with their taxes better schools, health care, transit, parks, and social services.” - Rep. Tom Malinowski (Democrat, New Jersey, District 7)
• “Today, Democrats have taken a key step forward in lifting the GOP Tax Scam’s unfair SALT deduction cap, reversing its immense giveaway to the wealthiest tax bracket, and providing additional tax benefits to the teachers and first responders who have paid the price from Republicans ransacking state and local governments. I thank Chairman Neal and the Members of the Committee for their leadership in moving this important legislation forward. Democrats will continue to push for real tax reform that rebalances the tax code to put working and middle-class families first.” - Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Democrat, California, District 12)
