Yeah, even that would be a small down payment on the cost of the US

east oil producers such as Saudi Arabia. After the US withdraws

from Iraq, in failure, the whole region is going up in flames.


He's also partner to a proposal to do away with the mortgage interest
deduction on your house if its size is above 3000 sq.ft.

Right, that's another good move. Those particular owners do not pay a
proportionate fair share of the infrastructural support subsidized by
government entities.


Oh, really? I pay around $8K per year in property taxes. Is that not
"proportionate", or do you think you have a right to STEAL even more?


STEAL is the appropriate word to use when referring to Republican party
controlled government. Now if you had a more humane and progressive
Democrat control, they are known to roll off property taxes for the
elderly.


I never have figured out why the elderly get tax breaks and senior
citizen discounts. They have had 40 years to save there money!

The tax breaks will be income qualified, and the program is designed to
help them maintain their independence on a fixed income. This is better
for everyone all around.
Senior citizen discounts from the commercial sector are largely a ripoff.
