Within the Trump tax cuts that lowered the top rate , was a limit on how much state and local taxes could be subtracted from federals taxes. This exemption for instance, allowed someone paying 50 k in state and local taxes to exempt that amount owed from their federal taxes. The rich weren't paying their fair share in federal taxes , ever.

Trump put a 10k limit on how much SALT a person could exempt to their federal taxrs, forcing the wealthy to actually pay their federal taxes in full. Since 10k in personal state and local taxes is never exceeded by a poor or middle class person , it didnt effect them. The super wealthy hated Trump BECAUSE he forced them to pay up personally .
