Yeah, but ironically, if they did, then by your definition, they'd be helping me to steal from you, your kids, and your grandkids, ya lousy commie.

I’ve been called a commie for being against selling our highways to foreign companies for monopoly-protected tolling, so that name doesn’t phase me a bit. I’ve also been called a Nazi many times...you get used to it here.
As to what you’re doing...it’s the same as me. I also itemize, with a nice big mortgage deduction, along with a large property tax deduction (here in Texas), and even a large SALES TAX deduction (too bad...you have a state income tax instead).
We all do what we can to minimize what the government takes from us...and we should. But that DOES NOT make the policy RIGHT...and having the government encourage people to GO INTO DEBT is simply WRONG. That is most of the reason we had the mortgage meltdown, and that is why millions of people overpaid for their homes. There is a DIFFERENCE between opposing a policy as STUPID, but still playing by the rules.
