what if we have to compare apples and oranges?Completely relevantirrelevant to the point being discussed and doesn't contradict anything I said
Your tax deductions are equivalent to handouts. You are no better than a welfare mother getting help to take care of her family
The only way you can compare the two is if you look it as all money is governments first, and anything they allow you to keep is a gift from them.
That's not the way it is. It's my money first--not governments. Until you accept the concept, then you will always have a hard time deciphering between a handout and a reduction. A reduction (or write-off) is where government takes less of what you have. A handout is when they don't take anything from you, but instead, give.
You owe money to the government. That is the way it works in all societies.
If you get to pay less into the government than someone doing the same job, you are getting a freebie
In the end, you get more money in your pocket net
No, you don't GET more money, you get to keep more of your money.
Net result= more money in your pocket= freebie
