How the Republicans play politics with their tax plan.
9,000 California homes burned to the ground in recent fires in Sonoma, Napa and Yuba Counties, and the Republican tax plan will end certain tax write-offs for properties damaged by fires. At the same time, victims of recent hurricanes in Texas and Florida would be grandfathered in and be able to deduct some of their uninsured property losses. Guess which states are red and which are blue. Cynical and heartless.
