>>Are you seriously suggesting that Canada has a better tax model than the US?<<

Actually, I was being tongue in cheek. I forgot the sarcasm tag.

That said, I really hate tax deductions. It is how the government controls people.

I agree but when you plan your financial life around the deductions and then they pull the rug from under you, well you're often screwed.

My bother who is farmer and is a “Rosevelt Democrat” whines and complains about anyone wanting to cut the Farm Subsidies. So I brought up the point that how well would he would be off if his federal farm program money was cut in half, as well as how much he has to pay in federal income tax.

You could see him crunching numbers in his head and then he frowned and told me I was right, and that he would be better off if they cut his taxes and his farm program by 50% as he pays more in federal taxes than what he gets from Uncle Slam.

They take and give to control people folks.
