This is just wrong.
Why should some of us be paying why others are not.
I cry foul
44 states pay an income tax and a lower sales tax rate than the 9.25% sales tax we pay in TN (with very few exemptions and ceilings--if you buy it, you pay sales tax on it). We pay no income tax, so shouldn't we get to deduct at least part of our sales tax? We shouldn't be punished just because we've been smart enough all these years to know that a consumption tax is the fairest tax off all!
Come on dayown!
