I was trying to understand the consequences on tax deductions, both federal and state. Being unfamiliar with TX state tax deductions allowed, and not being able to deduct sales tax here in La., I made the mistake of extrapolating...you know, the “assume” mistake. Now I must go off and tend to my wounds, Achilles2000 tossed a dagger at me.
There are some advantages to a sales tax approach. I just think it is beyond doable at least for the next several years. Now that doesn’t mean the ground work can’t be laid and the processes began to be analyzed. In that sense I think she has at least put the idea on the table. Someone mentioned deducting sales tax on fed forms. That deductions ends in 2010 so this is the last year of that.
