9. NC State, as I understand it

Besides upping sales taxes, they're apparently saying no one can claim any allowances for themselves or dependents ie: single and one (you now MUST claim single and 0) - and no deductions for home mtge interest or property taxes (for most people).

So they're raising taxes on the middle class, in order to give tax breaks to the rich (who will still get them and a cut atop it) - somebody has to provide welfare to the 1% - and it's the rest of us.

Anyway, that's how I understand it. I believe the new NC tax law is an ALEC model bill - like most of the others we're being assaulted with here now.
