New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is attacking President Trump on his tax reform proposal.
Cuomo says even though the standard deduction would be doubled to either $12,000 for singles or $24,000 for married couples, many deductions, including the ability to deduct state and local taxes, would be taken away.
“It is the height of hypocrisy. You have an administration saying I want to cut taxes, and now literally they want to tax you on the taxes that you pay!”
He says that is un-constitutional because it’s double taxation.
Cuomo says New York Republicans who support the plan have put loyalty to party above serving the best interests of their constituents.
“How a Republican congressperson from the State of New York could be supporting efforts that drive a stake through the heart of their own district is reprehensible to me.”
Cuomo says he believes the Trump administration is targeting New Yorkers.
