rehmwa 2 #51 August 16, 2010 Quote >Not at all -- I'm addressing the discrimination in the tax law You mean like the tax breaks for homeowners, that require you to pay more so they can pay less? why give tax breaks? If you want to buy a home, then buy the home if you can afford it? if you aren't "stimulating" the housing market, maybe the apartment building market will get a boost gov should just stay out of so much more than they are in ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 3,120 #52 August 17, 2010 >why give tax breaks? Why indeed? I was using that as an example of another odd differentiation that the tax code makes. Getting rid of all such differentiation (based on marital status, sexual orientation, homeowner status etc) makes a lot of sense. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Getting rid of all such differentiation (based on marital status, sexual orientation, homeowner status etc) makes a lot of sense. I agree. I would favor getting rid of deductions for charitable giving also (if you've hit AMT, you have already lost that schedule A deduction). If you want to give, give. OTOH, it is one small place where the individual can control where some (effective) tax dollars go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
