Hi Neil,You have a way of always grnibing up a topic I am wrestling with. Just today a solution arose and I was energized. Had I read your Monday Wake-Up on Saturday not only would I have had a solution but maybe I would have spewed less venom around those closest to the problem . I try to always see a problem as a wonderful opportunity to shift things in a better direction but still find myself trapped in the drama of who's FAULT is this? Knowing full well it always comes back to me, the owner . Thanks for shaking things up every Monday Morning! DZ

You cannot deduct both. You make your election on line 5 of Schedule A by checking box a for income taxes or box b for general sales taxes. The option to claim sales taxes instead of income taxes will not be allowed following 2007 unless Congress extends the law permitting this option.

    Consider how much of a raise the average espron would get without an income tax. They would put a good portion of that back into the economy. Small businesses would be able to avoid pay raises for a year or two and their employees would still have a higher quality of living.
