WHAT LOOPHOLES? WHAT DEDUCTIONS?

I have asked this question over and over and over, and nobody seems to have an answer, mainly because I think they mean the mortgage interest deduction, which would be disastrous for the working poor and the middle class and they want to make it seem like that's not it.


SB,

I agree and they don't answer because that IS one of the deductions they want to toss out. I'll tell you, when I was a single mother raising two young children I depended on that deduction as the only savings and/or biggest amount of money I'd ever get at one time. Even then it usually went toward something else. But have rich pay a tad more, well God forbid. mad
