- I'm not sure I understand your criticism here. -- nm - znufrii Mar 20, 14:32 18
  - I'm not aiming to disallow any deductions, just make sure everyone benefits equally from them. -- nm - znufrii Mar 20, 14:33 17

      - except we don't treat people equally across tax brackets as far as deductions are concerned. Those in a higher bracket receive greater tax relief - znufrii Mar 20, 14:42 8
        
        say what? - tRuMaN Mar 20, 14:44 6
        
        because they have a higher marginal tax rate. - znufrii Mar 20, 14:45 5
        
        umm, the standard deduction does not change based on tax bracket. - tRuMaN Mar 20, 14:46 4
        
        but the relief it provides does. -- nm - znufrii Mar 20, 14:47 3

      - then either I wasn't clear or am misunderstanding Obama's proposal - znufrii Mar 20, 14:40 5
        
        yes, but see, that is done already in many cases - tRuMaN Mar 20, 14:42 4
        
        well, perhaps this would obviate the need for the amt, and then we wouldn't need to fix it every year. :) -- nm - znufrii Mar 20, 14:43 3

        or you looked at it wrong, or you smelt funny, or any of dozens of other silly reasons, but yes. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 20, 14:47
        
        sure, a bit, but I tend to agree with spamlet - tRuMaN Mar 20, 14:44
