(Sacramento) – Assemblymember Phil Ting (D-San Francisco) says the Trump Federal Tax plan is a scam that hurts the middle class and only benefits the very wealthy. “It’s time take a stand against this tax scheme that robs California,” Assemblymember Ting said. “If the tax scheme passes it would cut the mortgage interest deduction, hurting middle-class homeowners; it would eliminate state and local deductions, forcing Californians to pay taxes twice on the same income; and it will cut billions of dollars from health care, transportation, and education.”
