As soon as they raise the taxes back, we get our deductions back right?
Ha-ha
Last I heard, no.
Ah, you remember what happened to us after the Reagan tax cuts, too! Revenue to the fed government went up, Congress spent it all and more, lied saying the tax cuts caused the shortfall, so, of course, they had to raise the rates to save the budget. But... the deductions that we lost were never restored. Funny how the taxpayers always get hosed.
#2 I think you found their secret.
Raise taxes and no deductions for you!
Next the gov’ts will charge you per mile of road driven and you will get to pay gas taxes. Gotta pay for them pensions.
