That’s what all tax code does...encourages or discourages spending habits and behaviors. I’d bet some people much smarter than you and I have good reason to frame such guidelines.
Yes, the people that want to control our lives have a good reason to use the tax code to try and influence our behavior.
People that are not statist or socialist think it is a bad thing.
The purpose of taxes is supposed to be to raise revenue for the government...not for social engineering.
But too many people are more than happy to be led around by the nose.
Hey look, I hate all taxes...PERIOD. I can play the role of anti government badass too...that’s fun to do in cyberspace...but guess what, unfortunately taxes are here to stay so why waste my time selling you on how badass I am?
Tax code does in fact raise .gov revenue but it also encourages and discourages spending behavior for reasons you aren’t smart enough to realize as you aren’t privy to enough data, historical and otherwise.
So what you have just said is that you agree with the premise that the knows what is good for us better than we know ourselves.
This I guess is not surprising based on your love of the government.

Hahaha...you’re so predictable...thanks for that.
This has nothing to do with love of government. This has everything to do with acknowledging that a super educated, uber intelligent economist whom spends his days and nights studying economics while privy to data and information that you are not may know a little more about what’s best for our tax code.
See, you self proclaimed smartest guys in the room can’t ever admit that shit to yourselves.
This sudden love of academia from you is unexpected. Who knew you had such devotion to government employed economist.
I suppose when these self same economist say we need to increase the tax rate and need to allow more immigration you will be defending those ideas as well.

Don’t dig too deep bud...let’s stay semi constructive....some shit makes sense and some shit makes no sense at all...the two are usually pretty easy to distinguish. As much as I hate government workings I can’t spend my days hating those running the nation I CHOOSE to live in.
I side with the Republican Party not because I agree with all of their ideals but because they are the most reasonable with their policies.
