I took a credit for B-school look into that again. I enjoy watching the exact moment when youngsters begin to realize they are being fleeced. Our resident office liberal was railing against the taxes being deducted from her check after a promotion. I just had to laugh in her face as if her support for Obsma and O'Malley will improve matters.

Back when I college student didn't seem like I was getting much tax benefits either since I full tuition scholarship from my private college. I probably need earn less $$$ to benefit or make a ton of money (over $100K) so it wouldn't matter as much.

Here list of cuts I see going away:

-Student loan interest deduction almost gone
-No Tax credit for graduate classes
-Even eduction tax deduction is limited to only $2k (cost over $15K for classes)
-IRA deduction gone

If just seem unfair that like if just make $10k to $15K, less I would getting more tax benefits. I don't why the IRS tax rules seem to hit hard on middle range of income ($65K to $100K) where all deductions starts to disappear. Oh well, unfortunately can't do much expect up the $$$ to IRS!
