As I have paraphrased this quote on FR in recent days: the power to tax is the power to destroy.
Is this what we Conservatives have come to?
That people's homes, their lives, where they chose to raise their children, where they take care of their elderly parents, where they worship - all of that should be destroyed because we support a Federal tax raise on the middle and upper middle class?
Really?
If that is a "Conservative" position these days - count me out.
I find too many clients over estimate the value of the tax benefits of home ownership and therefore over extend themselves. They buy into the false assumption that they are loosing out if they are not buying the biggest most expensive home they can afford. It’s a lie and it puts massive stress on young homeowners. Less tax benefits to me means homeowners making more rational decisions. The result is a healthier economy particularly on downturns.
“Is this what we Conservatives have come to?”
There’s dozens and dozens of them right here on Free Republic.
And there’s nothing, nothing conservative about it.
It’s the shtick of Social Justice Warriors, most of whom pay no income taxes whatsoever.
