as it relates to new york, i'm sympathetic to the issues in new york. i have paid taxes in new york and california, which are two of the highest taxed states. and, you know, if we eliminate the subsidies to new york and california, that creates certain issues. but, i don't think it's fair that a bunch of other states are subsidizing new york and california. and, you know, that will be an issue for me as well as i pay taxes there. >> so if taxes go up on middle class new yorkers, so be it, middle class californians. >> no, that's not what i said. we're trying to create certain adjustments so the middle class in new york and california don't get hit hard by this. but there are issues, as you have said, when we change a system. where we eliminate the tax subsidy of certain states that will impact different people in different states. we're working through the details of that. that's why, we haven't released the full plan. we're working with the committees. we want the committees to understand this. and we're very focused on middle income tax relief. >> you can't guarantee that all middle class indivi

in the face of opposition from high tech states like california, new york, and new jersey, house republicans are proposing to eliminate state and local tax deductions for the top earners that allow the middle class to keep them. the new battle is to where to draw that income line. the median income in america right now is around $59,000 a year. of course $59,000 goes a lot further in illinois and minnesota than it does in new york or massachusetts. representative peter king of new york says the cutoff should be $400,000 a year, saying that's what counts as middle class in his high cost district of long island. according to census data, the median income in new york is $61,000. in massachusetts it's $74,000. and in illinois, it's 57. iowa, it's 52. an analysis from the pew research center finds the upper bound of middle class various even more widely. being middle class in new york state stops at around $112,000. in california it's 120. in mississippi, the upper bound is $75,000. alabama, it's 85. all of this matters because the higher they raise the income threshold, the less revenue they ge

i worry about california and new york. new york has had three quarters of a million of -- three quarters of a million people move out to places like texas where they do not have any taxes. if the tax reform is successful and you can deduct state and local income taxes, loss of bodies from california, new york , connecticut, massachusetts will accelerate. when you were asking me earlier about things to talk about, disruption in real estate is something i spend a lot of time on. cooper,ere is airbnb or going tohere changes change the value of real estate? hotels used to make a lot of money in telecom. we would charge you $35 if you were so dumb as to pick up the phone and call home from the phone. then you got a cell phone and the income stream went to zero. forma isssing our pro on parking because nobody is parking a car. the cities have all this legislation, like i had in miami, we had to build 400 parking spaces. they have been empty 100% of the time. even if the hotel was 100% occupied, the garage was not full. what do y

the poison pill for some republicans in california new york and new jersey blue states is that the elimination of the deduction of state local taxes that's going to hurt their middle class constituents so that's going to be a key sticking point i just hope they get their act together and pass tax reform or the congress will look a lot different a year from now you got a good point there thank you very much preamp a conservative t.v. and radio house steve malzberg thank you very much. on tuesday for exit talks were delayed at the behest of the remaining members of the european union. is here with me and update on that for us bianca a lot of drama there why this delay so members of the e.u. want to delay the talks because they say they're simply hasn't been enough progress made at this point to keep moving forward just last week the president of the european commission said americal would have to happen for brock's it talks to proceed and that short amount of time since no miracles have occurred and the negotiations process has officially been delayed on tuesday members of the european parliamen

the high income states like new york, new jersey, california, they are going to get hit on this. peter king says he's not voting yes on this plan if it includes the elimination of the state and local income tax deduction. >> i live in both california and new york, so i couldn't be in two more inefficient tax states than that, and i fully support them eliminating this deduction it's a subsidy low-tax states are paying for high-tax states. even if congressman ding doesn't like it. it's very passable. what people are not talking about is the amt, alternative minimum tax. you bring in reduced rates. nobody knows enough to know if it results in a net higher tax burden for anybody. maria: do you think we'll get another broke the, like a millionaires tax. most of people are 12, 25, 35. >> they may dangle the idea of a $5 million threshold. an even higher rate. the way they teed it up it looks like president trump has it out there and will let congress say no to it. maria: how do you invest right now. >> within the u.s. we really want to be selective. for a person who wants to go and bit

as i said, i've lived in california, new york and i know the impact on both of those economies and we are trying to balance on one hand we firmly believe that the federal government should get out of the business of supporting and subsidizing the state and local deduction. on the other hand, we are sensitive to those economies and working with the house and senate on those issues. lauren: back from the weeklong recess they must have a budget to tackle the nation's tax code. by october. british police with three new allegations of sexual assault against harvey weinstein. investigators say woman reported being assaulted in london in 2010, 2011 and 2015. british actress lisette anthony also reported to london police that he raped her in the late 1980s. the motion picture arts and sciences has been revoked over the weekend. lauren: woody allen saying this with the bbc. you also don't want it to lead to a witchhunt atmosphere where every guy in an office who winked at a woman is suddenly having to call a lawyer to defend himself. weinstein reportedly plans to challenge is by the weinstein
