- 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
