[QUOTE="Albion, post: 72005048, member: 93831"] That's it? I think we all should be fair enough to recognize what every congressman who has worked on this bill has noted, which is that it is (not surprisingly) a compendium of giving and taking in order to make a more coherent tax plan. What matters--and what you said when you described it as a "rich versus the poor" kind of proposal--is the bottom line. If I lose a certain deduction, but I also am given a tax bracket break that more than makes up for that deduction or, as sometimes is the case, incorporates that deduction, I am not being punished for someone else's benefit. However, a partisan can do just what you did here and take one element and present it as if there were nothing else in the bill to consider. Anyway, you gave us a long list of changes that I didn't argue with. You were then asked by us to justify the claim that the rich will prosper at the expense of the middle and poor. Do that if you can. We'll consider the above point as a beginning and await the full assessment, which is obviously needed before anyone can decide who's being helped and who's not. [/QUOTE]
