The hell the feds dont owe me a deduction! They steal my money every 2 weeks! The state in which I live should always get more and have first cut but because we still have folks that firmly believe power should reside at the fed level and less with the states, well we are left with the John Adams ilk vs. Jefferson.
Why should the states which should have the power of taxation have to lower their taxes because an out of control federal government cant control their spending?
Another reason why I would lower the rates more. The current rate structures in the House and Senate are pathetic.
