... I can see that, take away all 'charitable deductions' and replace it with a 'grooming products' deduction ... yeah, that's about par for the course with Washington now-a-days ...

What about a tax break for over weight people? Think about this...

1. Every ingredient has been taxed. The seed, the cow, the pic, the chicken... Taxes are paid at each stop from farm until it reaches the hand of the cook.

2. Then the consumer pays taxes on the food when he/she buys it.

3. The the outside sole of their shoes wears out.

4. They have to buy more shoes. (Cows, rubber, fabric ect.)

5. Government and shoe companies are making out like bandits.

I smell a tax break!
