I think it needs to be scaled back to a needs-based system that has a tax base appropriate for that purpose, such as 4-5 percent which is a number I've seen bandied about. I think Gore's plan of the government matching contributions 3 to 1 for lower income is ripe for abuse. There used to be people coming over the border in New Mexico to claim instant refunds for the Earned Income Tax Credit. I believe one of the towns swelled by 6,0000 residents once a year until the IRS started catching on. The Gore plan is too easy to abuse.

Um, home owners vote? People are so gullable they can be bribed with cash from their own wallets? I'm definitely with you on ending tax deduction for home equity loans, how did that ever get in there in the first place?
