re: #216 calochortus

Heck, even Rand _{Keep-the-government-out-of-my-life} Paul said recently “Keep that deduction because I take it on my taxes” (or words to that effect)

Deductions are a mess and we should probably get rid of most, if not all of them, as they tend to benefit the connected, the wealthy, and/or the lucky. There are better ways of enacting social policy. Ways that hopefully don’t involve a lot of kickbacks to supporters and their causes (Yeah, I know, I’m dreaming).
