who come from states like new york and new jersey, washington, california, pennsylvania, virginia, illinois, minnesota, should pay particular attention to the issue of state and local deductibility. no doubt the elimination of state and local affects states in congressional districts over the entire country. dolphins, one of the states that pays the highest -- that gets the highest break tax break from state and local is utah. 35% of utahans take it because such a large percentage tithe and they don't use the standard deduction. it affects middle-class families in every state. the state that has the lowest effect on, west virginia, it still affects 17% of families. i don't have the numbers in front of me, but my guess is in kentucky, the home state of our president for the moment, president of the senate, presiding officer at the moment, is probably in the 20's. but in many states, the state and local deduction is claimed by over a third of taxpayers and amounts to tens of thousands of dollars a year in deductions. in california, 34% of taxpayers take the deduction for an average of $18,400

now it's one of a handful of sites that illinois is pitching as the home of amazon's second headquarters. >> the criteria that amazon put out, we rank at the very top. i believe we're going to win this. we're all in to win. >> amazon says it prefers a metro area with at least 1 million people, a stable business friendly environment, a place with the potential to attract top tech talent and can think creatively. the old chicago post office is certainly creative. nearly 3 million square feet in size. this is the roof. it's four acres. chicago has been trying to find a use for this landmark building but creativity alone won't cut it, not with stakes that. the company is promising 50,000 jobs, a $5 billion investment, and economic multiplier effect like its existing headquarters in seattle, which the company says has been worth ne no wonder cities are fighting tooth and nail. >> we might have to start with going to the state to see if we can get the legislature to change the name to phoenix amazonia. >> gary, indiana, took out an ad in "the new yo." but not everyone likes the idea. in new yo

suburban, fairly well off districts republicans throughout the states like new york, california, illinois, new jersey, those people even with the standard deduction will pay a lot more. >> dickerson: but why should - should --er. >> -- it should be real test of their congress people who vote with their constituents or they vote with the hard right ideology against state and local deductibility. >> dickerson: argument is why should alabama subsidize new york. but it sounds like you're bakesly out now to stop this bill not to shape we'd like them to really say to the deficit neutral instead of using these fake numbers that say, there will be huge growth. they tried that in can california that's charles koch's state this was the great experiment. they dramatically cut taxes said there's going to be growth and increase in the surplus. well, after they did it, they predicted the surplus wag up 300 million it went down. the deficit went down 700 million. they had to cut money for schools and infrastructure then they had to put in -- did kansas grow? no. last year its growth was .2% verse u.s. g
