Lets abolish the income tax then he won't need to have deductions. I'm guessing you love the graduated income tax though.

Wrong again, as usual.
If we're to have a personal income tax, I favor the "flat tax" with minimal deductions or loopholes. I can understand the validity of a "personal exemption" and standard allowance for nonworking spouse and dependents, but not much beyond that. (Maybe charitable deductions, but I'd have fairly strict limits as to what qualifies for that.) I'm certainly not a big fan of the excessive and manipulative "incentives" and "credits" that contaminate the tax code.

In general, I'd like to see it so simplified that H&R Block would be out of business.
