You have to know it is more complicated than that. Oregon is very much not one of the states that gets the most welfare from the feds vs what we pay. Just like almost every other measure I can find, Oregon is pretty much smack in the middle. The SALT change just screwed over individual taxpayers.

Also, the populist comment was aimed at the fact that the tax 'cuts' were built with an expiration date for the poors but permanent for the wealthy. That's pretty much the opposite of what a true populist would do.
