71. That may be part of it, I think it's aimed at Blue State Residents
It seems to me like some of the highest property taxes and income taxes are in Blue States or around urban centers.

I think it's a direct hit at Democrats in their pocket books.

Since I live in New York and pay property tax in both NYC and near Albany, plus husband pays income tax in NYC - yeah I'm really really REALLY pissed off about the tax plan.

The Democrat on the Blue Ribbon panel was John Breaux (a yokel who says "bidness") and it seems like there is a strong pro-rural/anti-urban bias to the tax plan.
