Now, now... a deduction is not the same thing as a subsidy. A deduction lets one keep more of one’s own money. A subsidy takes from one taxpayer and gives to some other person.

As a matter of fact, taxpayers did not help me raise our children. We taught them at home. The taxes we paid for government schools went to mis-educate other people’s kids.

BTW, libertarian economist Milton Friedman was criticized for using taxpayer funded college loans. As he said, he opposed such programs, but he would be a fool not to take advantage of them. We all do it, which pretty much explains why the US is in so much debt.

LMAO

Really really lame...

Any deduction leaves less money in the tax collections pool.

Thus renters get more of the tax burden because homeowners aren’t paying their fair share.

I don’t agree with this, but it seems to be your logic on display.
