I think it is a great idea (being one of these drug free Mormon's @steve is referring to). I also enjoy the fact that it brings the spotlight on how screwed up our tax system is. The working class poor pay little to none in federal taxes. The super rich have access to so many loopholes and exemptions to avoid payments. It is not a fair or equitable solution. I also don't like the implication that a tax deduction is considered a government expenditure. There are no monies exiting the coffers. It perpetuates the myth that the my money is only mine because the government is gracious enough to let me keep what it thinks I am entitled to.
