“Congress creates power for itself by manipulating tax rates and exceptions to effect the economy and reward special interests, who like to design tax relief around their unique circumstances to stymie competition. We have a nefarious system that is not at all what the Founders intended. The last thing I would want is more of it.”
How do you feel about the mortgage interest deduction?
I live in a Republican-run county in the Republican-run State of Florida.
Large new developments have to include “affordable” housing.
Perhaps you would let Bernie have his way:
“End the housing crisis by investing $2.5 trillion to build nearly 10 million permanently affordable housing units.”
“Protect tenants by implementing a national rent control standard, a ‘just-cause’ requirement for evictions, and ensuring the right to counsel in housing disputes.”
“Make rent affordable by making Section 8 vouchers available to all eligible families without a waitlist and strengthening the Fair Housing Act.”
“Combat gentrification, exclusionary zoning, segregation, and speculation.”

That $2.5 trillion is about $17,000 per American worker.
“by asking 14,000 wealthy families a year to pay a bit more, we can reduce rents by 10% for millions of families and create 1.5 million good new jobs.”

There are alternatives to my proposal.
“You can’t screw with supply and demand and not mess something up.”
Dozens of badly run leftist countries are supplying the US with their underemployed/unemployed citizens.
...Or we could cut all current tax rates by (or to) 10% and starve fedzilla.
how about not paying lazy asses to come here or live under highways and we keep feeding these mooches?
Get woke-up Brian.
That’s a non sequitur.
a tax cut that isn’t paid for by being offset by a corresponding reduction in spending is just robbing future generations to pay yourself
