I take every legal deduction I can. And as long as my government continues to squander my tax dollars I will continue to do so. No, I pay taxes/pay for welfare. I don't receive any welfare. Does your teacher know you're playing on the internet in class?

Attempting to draw a parallel between someone taking a mortgage interest deduction and someone who is taking welfare is pure stupidity. Typical liberal horseshit.
But failing to see the deeper similarities from a budget perspective is typical libtard (libertarian retard) obtuseness.
Only if you are a statist who views the money someone earns as the governments money first and the person who earned it second. There is zero similarity between someone being able to keep a larger percentage of the money that they worked hard to earn, and someone who does nothing getting handed free money that other people had to work for.
BINGO! Of course spiked hair living in his mother's basement attending public high school and paying no taxes will have great difficulty seeing this inconvenient reality.
So holding the deficit (or surplus) constant, where will government get the money to meet its obligations when revenue from the wealthy Koch Industries is reduced? From "money that other people had to work for".
LOL Most of our government's so called "obligations" are self imposed, NOT true constitutional obligations.
