I'm more liberal than most but support completely repealing the SALT cap. Why? I'd rather my taxes go first toward city, county, and state taxes, closer to where they are spent.

Lower city, county, and state taxes are correlated with much higher spend from federal tax dollars.

I can talk to the city council member to advocate for funding a project to refurbish a local park. No way I can meaningfully talk to my congress person about how federal tax money is being spent in Iowa.
