Exactly. I think what people felt was sort of deceptive of Gore was that it's really not anything NEW, except for the possible increase of 800.00. And the fact that in one of the debates Gore stated it was per child when it's not. And that he wasn;t exactly forthcoming about the limitations of the deduction. He made it sound like everyone would get it. But THAT's just politics-- no more dark and terrible than most of the representations made by both sides on many issues. It's just up to the other side to make sure all the facts are out there. Hopefully in a moderate way. Which we have both just done, I think. X will approve.

o that answers it. Gore raises the write-off to $10,000 but only for lower-middle class so it amounts to whatever, $800-$2800 somewhere depending on what's already there for you. It will not amount to a net of more then $800 for anyone compared to what is all ready stipulated by current law to take effect in 2002. If you compare it to what is currently in effect the increase is up to $1800, but $1000 of that $1800 increase has all ready been passed so only $800 is new for anyone, not $800-$2800. Tim
