So raise them............ Haven't you heard? We are un-taxing ourselves into a third world nation................ Perhaps the government needs to get out of the incentive business and simply tax income, earnings, profit on a progressive, but flat basis (i.e. more income, earnings, profit pay a little more.....). The rich would have no "loopholes" work.... Companies like GE would have no loopholes to work........
"What a foolish boondoggle those tax breaks for home buyers have turned out to be. The government spent an estimated $22 billion between 2008 and 2010 on tax breaks to prop up the housing market. All it achieved was a brief suckers' rally that ended last summer."
