"Only??? They are tax breaks, are they not??? If you pay state and local taxes, you get a break there also...also some medical and dental assistance. And a number of others that fall into the itemized deductions pool. Poorer people don't qualify..."

Do you get the advantages listed above? That's big government interfering in your life.....you should reject such benefits...

"Not that I need them, but then I'm told I should be the one who's grateful for my success"

Then why take them.....????? And ask for more.

No deduction for student loans.

But you got a low interest rate and an easy repayment schedule.

>You are just another liberal who thinks I owe my life to government.

You certainly owe part of it. Intel probably wouldn't have existed without the government. For one thing, without the government, we'd probably have no roads... we'd also likely have no middle class to buy a lot of the products Intel makes. And so on...

>The fact that I pay much more in taxes than I get in "benefits" matters little to you.

Not a whole lot. Because if anything were going to go wrong for you, that balance would change.
