Under the new tax law passed in December 2017, individuals can deduct no more than a combined $10,000 of state and local property taxes and either sales or state income taxes from their federal taxes. Previously, individuals could deduct all of these items fully (up to a certain limit for very high-earners). News reports have focused on how these new provisions may disproportionately hurt taxpayers (depending on their individual situations) in high-tax states such as California. In a couple of short sentences, explain why taxpayers in high-tax states are hurt by this change as compared to taxpayers in low-tax states.
