I'm against the this tax bill...against it...
if we're denied our deductions, then everybody should be denied
anyone that is in favor of this tax "reform" had better not complain or demand special deductions....in for a penny, in for a pound, or something like that...
I tend to agree, but getting rid of all deductions (including the “standard” and “child” ones) would be a “bridge too far” in the politicians’ world. I definitely wouldn’t mind getting rid of them all and just adjust the tax rates to give everyone a tax cut across the board. Raising the “std.” deduction hurts charities as more and more people cannot deduct their contributions via itemization, so are less motivated to contribute.
