Some of it, yes. Joel Send a noteboard - 22/07/2011 05:04:02 PM
They are talking about cutting deductions for interest paid on home loans and charitable deductions. That is hardly loop holes everyone agrees should be done away with. One of the saddest things about this whole situation is the left crying that the republicans are going to blow up the world when they are the ones demanding we get rid of tax breaks they extended and that are set to expire on their own anyway simply because they are want to save face the grassroots fringe "intellectual" elite base. We really need to look into firing our "intellectuals" and see about getting some them think more often than blindly follow. The media's help they are receiving in selling this fairytale is disturbing. The media HHS stopped leaning left and our now so interbred with the democratic party they should simply be considered the PR wing of the DNC.

The main thing I've heard discussed on home loan interest is reducing or eliminating the deduction on very expensive homes purchased by very high earners, and most comments I've seen on that were very dubious of them in the first place. The feeling seems to be that we don't need to subsidize Mcmansion purchases, and certainly not those by people who don't need a subsidy of any kind.

Perry or Romney, either way I'd vote Republican. Tom - 22/07/2011 03:57:21 PM 469 Views
Perry? Seriously? He's Bush with Romneys hair. Joel - 22/07/2011 05:01:02 PM 718 Views
I think Romney is better than Perry, but I won't vote Obama if either is the candidate. Tom - 23/07/2011 02:13:18 AM 474 Views
I'm honestly not sure what I'll do, but believe in voting ones conscience no matter what. Joel - 23/07/2011 02:44:31 AM 483 Views
