P.S.
In a nutshell, most deductions are nothing more than RESTRIBUTION OF WEALTH.
Taking everyone’s money and sending it to particular groups and places they want to continue operating in particular ways.
So if you state, county, city, etc. is overtaxing or have your homes over-valued, woo-hoo, They get to keep overtaxing since the people never will feel the real brunt of their policies.
Or if they like a particular company and want them to get more money, WOO HOO, people are now nudged to buy their overpriced and under-competed products.
And how are federal taxes any different? How is taking money away from someone at a rate of 35% while sending someone money they didn’t pay in taxes, an earned income tax credit, not redistributing wealth? In fact this tax plan is written to jettison only enough support to keep their power in Washington by choosing who will win and who will lose.
