This is one of those situations where politicians were out to get those tax evaders but it became one of those monsters that's come back to bite them.

This way, the relief really goes to those people who may have been taxed out of their homes as a result.

The real way to address the issue has always been there and that is the rate.

There will be enough political pressure to make Congress consider doing something.

Many of them are gimmicks.

Certainly one has to question what the side benefits would be from being a major sponsor of the trip. Do these sponsors earn brownie points?

Well, as I characterize most of them, they're all gimmicks, gimmicks to fool the taxpaying public that they're going to get some kind of tax relief.

They haven't found common ground. That's why I think we shouldn't spend our resources when the advocates can't even come to an agreement.

Lower the rate and that's the direct way of providing tax relief.
