I whole-heartidly agree with your notion that excellence must be strived for and highly valued. As a handicapped person, believe me when I tell you that extensive practice, striving for excellence, is the hallmark of a handicapped person excelling in any sport. I funded many a lighted driving range in the territory I traveled. BUT,the monies collected in taxes are not at issue if someone gats a break from paying IN for some designated reason. That sort of upside down thinking is what drives the democrap proclamation that tax refunds are ‘government spending’ and tax cuts cost the government monies.
I have a problem with only “certain” people getting tax cuts. I am for all people paying a small percentage of tax. Equal percentage across the board.
I do not have a problem with letting people keep their money. Whether they have a lot of it or a little.
I do have a problem with people feeling the are special and want the rest of us to pony up while they get breaks.
Equal percentage for all.
