Gerhard Randers-Pehrson, an 81-year-old resident of Ossining, NY, thinks that the $ 10,000 cap should rise not too much. Although Mr. Randers-Pehrson, a retired research scientist, said that he paid $ 16,000 in state and local taxes last year, he does not expect to benefit personally from a higher limit. He would take the standard deduction instead of specifying. But the problem still disturbs him.
“I don’t think we should punish areas that try to do through the municipal services they offer,” he said. His Congressman, representative Mike Lawler, a Republican and one of the holdouts on this issue, has proposed to lift the limit to $ 100,000 for individuals and $ 200,000 for married couples. Mr. Randerers-Perhson believes that such an increase would be too high.
Even among the Republicans who want to increase the limit, it has been a challenge to be a question about a requirement.
Republist Jeff, Republican of New Jersey, said that a limit of around $ 30,000 or $ 40,000 would be acceptable, while a group of four Republicans in New York made a statement on Thursday and called a cap of $ 30,000 ‘insult’. Republist Young Kim, Republican of California, recently drove a deduction of $ 62,000 per individual. Representative Nicole Malliotakis, a Republican in New York about the Ways and Means Committee, has meanwhile suggested that Americans should be able to take the full deduction under a certain income limit.
“I was always focused on people I represent on Staten Island and Brooklyn, who usually all earn less than $ 500,000,” she said.
House republican leaders remain optimistic that they can initiate the needle. They also struggle with a Last-minute push from Mr. Trump To raise taxes on the rich, although the president loved that idea in a social media post on Friday. “Republicans probably shouldn’t do it, but I’m ok if they do!” The president wrote.
