Wrong!
44 Million Americans claim this deduction. You are parroting the talking points of Paul Ryan! What are you?! A mindless robot?
” Wrong! 44 Million Americans claim this deduction.”
44 million out of how many? That would be roughly 240 million.
Want to try the math, or is that too hard for you? “What are you?! A mindless [communist] robot?”
I don’t think the government should know what charities you donate to, what interest you pay, how many electric cars you drive, if you can wright off your 7000 pound SUV and such. That’s what itemized deductions are. You should pay a tax according to your income, not what decisions you make according to the approved list to make your tax burden lower. That’s just me. You seem quite invested in your deductions and likely pay no tax because of it.
