Nationwide Campaign to Fight For Tax Fairness

Fighting the Federal tax assault on Democratic states

Tax Fairness for All Americans

Under the Trump administration, Washington launched an all-out direct attack on New York’s economic future. The federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 eliminated full deductibility of state and local taxes (SALT), effectively costing New Yorkers $15.3 billion.

What’s worse is that the law disproportionately hurts Democratic states, like New York, which already contributes $35.6 billion more annually to the federal government than it gets back.

To fight back against this economic assault, the Governors of impacted states are working with their Congressional Delegations and Speaker Pelosi to immediately reestablish full SALT deductibility and restore fairness for millions of hard-working American taxpayers.

Reducing Taxes for New Yorkers Fighting for the Middle Class

Property Tax Cap
In 2019, then-Governor Cuomo signed a permanent 2% property tax cap into law. Property taxes are the largest tax burden for many New Yorkers. The tax cap has kept local levies in check, and in total, local taxpayers have saved more than $58.8 billion.
Middle-Class Tax Cuts
Middle class tax cuts have been phased in since 2016. When the cuts are fully phased in, middle class taxpayers will have received an income tax rate cut up to 20 percent, amounting to a projected $4.2 billion in annual savings for six million filers by 2025.
Middle Class Property Tax Credit
In 2021, then-Governor Cuomo signed into law a new middle-class property tax credit, which will provide 1.1 million New Yorkers with $383 million in annual savings.
