Letters to the Editor Sunday, April 11 | The Daily Gazette SECTIONS Politicians offering mixed tax messages The recent news about taxing the wealthy is a good example of ‘you can’t make this up.’ The federal and state governments want to raise the tax rates on the wealthy. At the same time, they want to eliminate the current restriction of $10,000 on deducting state and local taxes because it hurts the wealthy.
