Good For Them

From Fox News: Several Republican governors are proposing an end to their state income taxes in exchange for closing loopholes including mortgage deductions -- plans to make their states more competitive in the U.S. economy but already being criticized by Democrats.
Gov. Dave Heineman, Nebraska, and Bobby Jindal, Louisiana, earlier this week proposed eliminating the tax on residents and corporations.
Meanwhile, Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback proposed lower taxes for all residents in exchange for eliminating the tax deduction for interest paid on home mortgages.
Brownback’s mortgage-interest proposal is to help close a budget shortfall and was rejected last year by the state’s General Assembly.

Of course, Democrats don't want to lose tax money, all they want to is raise more taxes and in any way possible, while many Republicans on the state level, where there are more conservatives than on the federal level, want to lower taxes.  Democrats and liberals really do believe that it's not your money, it's the governments money and they are just allowing you to have it, because the government allows you to keep some of it.
Imagine that.
