Subject: Tax reform
I make too much money. 250K a year. The problem is I start losing many
of the deductions afforded to lower income people. So what happens- I
end up with less dollars in my pocket to save or spend.
Home mortgage interest is something I can not understand why the
current system limits this.
My personal belief is a GST or VAT is a good way to go. I do not
profess to know all the advantages of all the plans but the " pay as
you go" idea - without loopholes or hiring smart tax planners to
assist- is the best idea
I've heard in a long , long while.
