Montana Court Rules For And Against Online Travel Companies

Montana Court Rules For And Against Online Travel Companies

Why Don’t We Eliminate The Charitable And Mortgage Interest Deductions?

Why Don’t We Eliminate The Charitable And Mortgage Interest Deductions?

The only two things I will eliminate are the charitable contribution and the mortgage interest deduction.  The reason I picked them is because in most, if not all, of the Republican plans, those are the only two itemized deductions that are kept.  Frankly if you blew those away, I think you would end up with a lot of non-itemizers, except in the high tax states, but let the chips fall where they may.

To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
