Preach it, sistah girl!I think every single one of us, who can claim a deduction or get a credit at some point on their taxes (home owners, college loans, kids, medical expenses, home business, donations, etc) has done so. No shame in my game. If I can claim it I will, just like everybody else.
However, that doesn't mean I agree with our tax system. It's all jacked up and it's all wrong. There shouldn't be these credits and deductions and what all. IMHO, if we have to pay these illegal taxes, then there should be a flat tax in order to make the process simpler and fair for everybody.
But as long as this is our tax system and as long as these credits/deductions et al are offered, every single one of us is taking advantage of what we can to get the best tax rate for ourselves and our families in order to not owe and to hopefully get some money back. :shrug:
My track record of being a FAIR TAX supporter is well documented on the forums. But turn down the credits or tax breaks already in existence? Yeah, cut off my nose to spite my face? Right
Hey thatguy- I'll post the pic of my new kitchen tile floor when it's done so you can see your tax dollas at work.
