Update On Pete’s Tax Plan
I’ve been informed that I’m a jackass, and that my complaints about the child tax credits I don’t receive doesn’t take into account just how damn expensive it is to raise a kid these days.
I seem to have also missed the point that a healthy and well-educated citizenry (even a young one) benefits all of society, and that I should be glad to be paying for these kids who will eventually be paying for my Social Security.
So, I take it back. Now my least favorite tax is the tax on the interest earned by my savings and investments. It’s a sad day when there are more tax advantages to debt (mortgages and student loan interest) than savings and self-sufficiency.
