Will the Dems go full-on Macron from here forward?

The so-called Blue Wave came on the backs of the wealthy urbanites. Will the Dems take after France's lead and govern to the right of the GOP on economics? We already see how they cried more about SALT exceptions for billionaires in New Jersey than RTW laws being passed.

The loss of SALT deductions hurt a huge amount of middle class and upper-class families in New Jersey and New York, not billionaires.

In any case the answer to your question is "No," because 1) the current GOP is about as right-wing as politically possible when it comes to fiscal policy, and 2) college educated suburbanites aren't as fiscally conservative as they once were.

...and oh, look, here's Exhibit B:

The loss of SALT deductions hurt a huge amount of middle class and upper-class families in New Jersey and New York, not billionaires.

If you're a Democrat who thinks that the most important issue with our extremely regressive federal taxes is how it affects people who make well over six figures in any part of the country, you are a part of the problem described in this thread.

The median household in come in New York City is closer to $50k, and fewer than one third of residents are homeowners. Let's stop pretending that the concerns of people in the $150-$300k income bracket in any way resemble those of the average person, or even in the average voter.

40% of all taxpayers in NJ got SALT deductions: http://www.gfoa.org/salt

Property taxes in NJ matter to the middle class too. I'm not going to deny that the median household income in NJ is notably greater than the national average, but the average voter in New Jersey cares a lot about SALT.
