I agree but the major driver of the cost of living is real estate and rental prices. We might be paying an extra buck a gallon for gas and a buck more for a happy meal, but the significant expense is housing.How am I underestimating?Yeah I live in Cali and Texas so I understand the political differences and think Cali can learn much from Texas. But the cost of living are so high more so because of supply and demand. The market is valued and what people will pay for it. Simple as that. Taxes do have an effect but not as much as S&DThe SALT legislation was sloppy and didn’t take into account cost of living in places like New York and California. That said you bring up fair critiques on the progressive tax agenda. Just wish people like the OP would present the facts in a honest way
The cost of living in those areas is high in part because of progressive policies fueled by high progressive style taxes.
Add in laws designed to make building new housing as expensive as possible, and you get your blue coastal cities.
I think you underestimate the amount of local taxes one pays in places like NYC.
Sales taxes, state and city. all the fees added to services and your bills, from your cell phone to your electric bill. add in all the permits and licenses businesses need which adds to their costs and you start to get an idea of what escalates prices.

FakeDave lying his ass off again. Tax revenue is up and Dave is a lying sack of shit.50-90% tax rates not out of question.

There are definitely obstacles design to prevent growth, especially in affluent areas. But it all comes back to supply and demand.

and a lot of that is self inflicted via zoning laws and building codes that have no other purpose but to drive up prices or prevent building of denser units.

(edit) - not the same as the stories headline no. but she did say she'd raise taxes all through the story. (/edit)Let’s be honest here with your headlines mr weatherman. She wants to raise taxes on the top earners and corporation and use that money to help the middle class and poor. I don’t neccessary agree with warrens plans but you can at least present them honestly.50-90% tax rates not out of question.

fully funded? The ACA didn't have a public option, so how was it fully funded?Since when?Twenty trillion in debt is not going to pay itself off.
But raising taxes will?
Nope. You know as well as I do raising taxes isn't the way to go. Hell you get more money back into the economy by lowering taxes.
As for the debt, raising taxes won't help that at all. The only thing that will is a Govt. on a budget.
Tax cuts in times of a recession are good. Tax cuts that just raise the debt in other times is stupid.
HW Bush had to raise tasxes.
If you are going to spend it, you need to fund it.
and when are we reforming entitlements......because nothing else matters.
The ACA was fully funded.
The Republiucans don't know the meaning of being funded.
We don't mind paying, but we want efficiency and results.....but aren't you the one crying about the debt.......They all want to live in the greatest country on earth by none of them want to pay for it.

Wages go up, taxes paid go up. Don't credit El Cheeto's tax cut for that.
Ta cuts to the poorer & lower middle class spur the economy. Those tens of millions Trump gave himself are not.
This is what is wrong with the tax cuts. The rich & well off corporations don't need them.

Wow, you are a greedy little bastard that is completely clueless. Bad combo.
Tax cuts for people that pay virtually no taxes spur the economy? You must have attended a government mandated public school. You clearly took the short bus.
It worked for Bill Clinton.She's so silly she thinks tax-increases are a winning platform.
