I guess the question is: Do closing loopholes count as raising taxes? In my world, yes.

IOW, if someone takes away one of my deductions/write offs that I've had for a number of years (leased cars for example) and now I have to pay extra taxes because of it, then yes....it is a tax increase on me.

How is a loophole a deduction? please clearify.

Because you don't have to pay it?

Exactly, a loophole is nothing more than a deduction...until someone doesn't like it

I would say a loophole is more of an oversight in the writing of the law, than an actual deduction.

Now that I have Chucks attention, can I get access to the "protected" forum here? Pretty please?

First you have to find someone who will vouch for you.......

chuck you have to read the book, im not gonna read it to you. Reagan is one of only 4 or 5 presidents ever to take a daily diary, and the book is the exact diary he wrote, no editing. I will choose to beleive the ACTUAL words written by reagan himself, with descriptions of what happened and why, over what you gathered by reading the bill. Fact is he had to sign it, they did everything they could to get his full plan implemented, but there was no choice but to sign in a very watered down, and not ideal law, happens all the time and this is no different.
