Wouldn't live in Oregon if you paid my mortgage.......well, I probably would but I hate the rain. Maybe somewhere rural I can pump my own gas.
Where does the "charitable contribution" go? You're acting like this being used on a small scale in the past means it will survive court challenges and congress closing the loopholes. Ain't happening unless you keep it in court until the dems take back the majority...which could definitely happen.
Ha!!!! Hilary won Nevada, we have legal weed and low taxes and tons of sun. It does concern me that you deadbeats wanna get out of paying your federal taxes as required.
To the state. It's a charitable contribution to the state, and you get a tax credit back. Or you could just pay your taxes normally, if you prefer that. If Congress changes the laws, sure. What's the legal basis for the courts overturning it?
Charitable donations cannot be compulsory. If I live in a state that asks me to "donate" to it I'm going to tell them to fuck off. I'd sue instantly. If the state won't let me donate to something like the Red Cross it isn't charity.
It's not compulsory, under this proposal. You and MarAzul claiming it is doesn't make it so. You would have the choice to pay taxes in exactly the same way you do now. Doing it as a charitable donation would be an option, not a requirement. You'd have no basis to sue.
Hahahahahahahaha. Then they're state taxes. Which you can't deduct. The amount is compulsory and goes to the state. Are you saying I can skip the state and give to a real charity? Good luck with that.
Realistically, they are. It's a loophole. If you think loopholes fail legally because "come on now, you know what they really mean, just apply some common sense here!" you haven't been following tax policy for the last century. It's not going to be struck down by the courts. Congress could do something about it, if they want to. As long as Republicans do it before they lose one House of Congress, which could be this year.
Except that Congress has used up it's reconciliation card, so you need 60 votes in the senate. Where you going to get those? barfo
