It actually IS common sense to save 4% or even 7% interest on debt rather than to give the Fed Gov an interest free loan. How does that fact confuse you?
It doesn't confuse anyone but why do you have to repeatedly post it in this thread? It's not that profound or interesting. And there are people who forego the 1.5% bank interest rate and over withhold as a means of forced savings, but since you are perfect and have never been poor you probably don't understand that.

If you must be "forced" to save, you deserve to be poor.
Hall of Fame material. Chastising tax scofflaws while crowing about benefiting from special interest tax incentives.
Never change, you beautiful clueless wonders...
All income taxes are socially sanctioned theft of money I earned and rightfully own. So all tax advantages available to me are a return of what was already mine.
So I proudly and happily seek to gain back what was stolen from me at every possible legal opportunity. I am happy that Trump’s tax plan contains some of those opportunities.
Despite how he does his taxes, the OP seems to be unaware that when you make more money, you do pay more in taxes.
Before I learned the proper way to do taxes, (meaning, stop letting the government hold my money for me), I noticed that any time I got a job that paid more than the previous job, I always ended up paying more and getting less back.
It's because you MADE MORE - how does this simple concept escape you?
Isn't that what the left has been crying about? They want those who make more to pay more? Welp, you got what you wanted, OP! Oh, you didn't expect it to happen to you? Hahahahhahahahahahahhaa!
By the way, you're not fooling anyone - you were never going to vote for Trump.

Nice speechifying, but I wonder who will pay for the roads, infrastructure and other government services for those $250K palaces you're hawking in the Garden State if not for taxes?
Don't bother answering because I'm sure it still boils down to "I got mine, the heck with everyone else".

I am fine with a user fee for roads and infrastructure. EZ Pass technology can take care of that. Or I am fine with a voluntary tax.
Same with police, sewers, fire, courts, etc. I am fine with paying for essential services using a fair methodology based on usage. Or even voluntary taxation. My local police and fire protection can submit the budget, and if I agree to be protected, I pay my share of the price. If I don’t pay, I get a bill and a lien based on their costs when they have to save my a$$. Which is going to be way more expensive than paying the voluntary tax.
What I am not fine with is taking my money against my will and handing it over to people who make bad decisions. Like people who choose to do drugs, or get pregnant with children they cannot afford. Or public schools. Or libraries. Or parks. All of those things are nonessential and can be provided by the free market, with people voluntarily paying for their construction and operation.
Meanwhile, we do not have that system. So if Trump gives me a tax bill that has great deductions for doing business, then I plan to take full advantage and apologize to no one.
And it’s not “you got yours, screw everyone else”. It’s: “I EARNED MINE, and if you want some of it, you have to ASK”.
