Chuck, choosing the quote you did first post post seemed inline with the meme that the rich are unfairly taxed, which is an OPINION I object to. I didn't disagree with the sentence itself, which is FACT.

Your most recent post is dead-on and you are really just reinforcing the article. "Tax breaks" are created by politicians to avoid the idea of RAISING taxes to pay for something. It would be much more honest to avoid giving tax breaks and just keeping the system simply tax and then spend. Irish Rogue has discussed this at length in the recent past in referencing things like "child deductions" and "mortgage deductions".

The fact remains that despite the loudest voices claiming otherwise, people are now taxed at a lower level than they have been in the last several decades.
