87. Charity is such a scam

First, charity is either charity, or it's a money-making (tax lowering, if you will) proposition. It makes me laugh when people in the U.S. say they give to charity and then take a deduction. That's not giving. That's taking. It's basically the govt paying charity for garbage, because...
Second, a huge amount of what people give, are items that they would've thrown out, so they're making money off garbage

As for home ownership, it's a subsidy of the real estate industry. The government subsidizing the real estate industry. Most lower income and middle income people benefit almost not at all. If interest on personal loans are not permitted, why is this any different? And it doesn't help the lower and middle income people buy a home. It's hella shocking that it's allowed up to the first million. If someone can get into an expensive home, really, are they needing a home ownership deduction? Of course not. I'm all for doing it like France, where there's no such thing.

Educational deductions are out of the reach of lower income people, so what exactly is the point?

Deductions (money paid by the govt) to people who are doing well, need to be eliminated.

96. It boils down to money the govt is giving you, and the govt should not be in the business of handing

out money to those who are doing okay.

Besides, as I said before, people give a lot of trash, stuff that belongs in the city dump.

Lastly, getting a benefit for charity, is not charity at all.

Charity: The practice of benevolent giving and caring. What it is not is the practice of getting rid of your trash, and getting to pay lower taxes.

99. The govt is keeping you from having to pay what you would've paid. Therefore, it's paying you. nt

I vote for no deductions no credits.  Nothing, take all the bullshit out of the tax code and make it 10% across the board.  No more complaining from the DUmmies... oh wait, there will be plenty.

How about just an honest definition? What exactly is E in the ITC?

I would like like to be back to the 1970's where one could deduct a federal tax from ones IRS.   Deduct interest from buying a car or house, taxes on tobacco and booze.----taxes on gas or heating oil
interest on credit cards and  state taxes on food and land.

You can still deduct those, subject to thresholds.

I'm sure she is equally upset by the fact that you can deduct student loan interest as well, correct?

She covered that, too.

Does someone want to tell her that the ONLY people who have educational deductions are lower income people?

Furthermore the assertion is made that taxes are the vehicle by which the government controls inflation so a corporation paying lower taxes is a threat to price controls.

o.O   

Incredible.

The stupid is very strong in this one!

I love posts like this.

They're right up there with screeds explaining how tax cuts cost the government money.


Only in the mind of a statist, is keeping more of what YOU earn "welfare".

So she also tells charity donators to go to hell.

[obumazombie]

Sarah is expressing such pure liberal socialist dogma, it's almost too good to be true. Any chance she is a mole ?

Exactly.  They have a problem when the government makes copies of their phone calls and emails, but they have no problem with the government confiscating your personal property under the threat of imprisonment and forcing you to buy a product you don't want.
