"If you can afford to have someone else do YOUR personal labor, you are rich."

Good point. I've built a house. Have you?

I've cleared the lot, poured the slab and done everything but put on the shingles and placed the septic tank.

How about a tax deduction for personal lawn mowers only?
That would help those poor fellas, who cannot afford to pay somebody to have the job done.

re: I'd say anyone who doesn't mow their own lawn and has someone else mow it for them is wealthy.

All it means is that your time is worth more (in $'s and cents) than the person who mows the lawn.

That's the problem.

Democrats want to raise taxes on the rich, with the rich being defined as having an income to tax.

You don't think the politicians would raise taxes on their existing wealth would you?
