No, you’re not “giving” me money, to tell me that you’re going to allow me to keep $200 of what I’ve earned.
You are simply not taking as much as you could.
I’m not arguing that taxes are not real obligations, of course they are.
Nor am I arguing that breaks are relief from those obligations. They are, of course.I’m arguing that if I’ve earned it, it’s MINE. And allowing me to keep more of it than before, is NOT subsidizing ME. It’s just taking less away from me.
Agreed. Sorry I dropped out for a time. Computer had a slow down.
