Though voters elected Republicans to the House majority in the last congressional elections, since the start of Rep. Matt Gaetz’s (R-FL) revolt against the speakership of Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the GOP seems keen to give that majority away. And as former President Donald Trump cleans up in the nomination fight and aims for a White House return, House Republicans seem inclined to obliterate one of his signature legislative achievements — the $10,000 cap on the state and local tax deduction.

Enacted as a part of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the SALT deduction cap does what it says. It crucially forces high-income taxpayers in blue states to foot a greater share of both their federal and local tax bills instead of pawning off the costs to lower-income earners as well as taxpayers in other states who didn’t vote for high-tax policies.
