Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) over Lawler&#8217;s announcement that he would vote &#8220;no&#8221; on President Donald Trump&#8217;s tax bill, which aims too extend tax cuts from 2017 permanently and raise the state and local tax (SALT) deduction cap from $10,000 to $30,000 for individuals making under $400,000.Greene criticized Lawler&#8217;s stance, suggesting that if the SALT cap increase was not sufficient, New Yorkers should either vote Republican or move out of the state. Lawler defended his position, referring to Greene&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/exclusive-populist-potential-ceo-of-worlds-largest-hedge-fund-plans-to-go-full-maga-in-looming-pennsylvania-senate-bid\/\" title=\"Exclusive \u2014 \u2018Populist Potential\u2019: CEO of World\u2019s Largest Hedge Fund Plans to Go Full MAGA in Looming Pennsylvania Senate Bid\">past controversial comments<\/a> and asserting that her views did not align with the electorate&#8217;s needs.
