Jerry Nadler accidentally offers up a bold new tax proposal that will eliminate most taxes and benefit the wealthy

Dem Rep. Jerry Nadler of New York unveiled a bold new tax proposal on Twitter on Wednesday that declared, “No should ever be taxed twice on the same income” and “It’s not fair and it’s not just”:

No one should ever be taxed twice on the same income. It's not fair and it's not just.

Proud to lead seventeen Members of the NY House delegation—alongside @RepTomSuozzi—in demanding that any coming tax legislation restores the SALT deduction.https://t.co/eOB6QPVrOT

LOL. Does he even have a clue as to what he just suggested?

So…states should abolish their income taxes entirely?

This is a mess, sir. It's not what you meant to say. https://t.co/CmTblIaE9a

“TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH!”:

Here's Nadler demanding TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH! The SALT cap they want to repeal is $10k. Anyone who needs to write off more than $10k in state and local taxes is rich. Dems like the deduction though because it forces all of us to subsidize confiscatory tax rates in blue states. https://t.co/je8SBXncaT

We’re pretty sure it would get Nancy Pelosi’s endorsement:

This would directly benefit Nancy Pelosi, like a LOT. https://t.co/ZroatsTw64

And what other double taxes should we eliminate?

That aside, there is simply no good reason that I, as a Floridian, should pay more for the federal government so that New York can add local services I don’t get without richer taxpayers having to feel it. This is a losing case, especially for the Democratic Party.
