“I was on the other side of that fixture, I was the entrepreneur out there starting my own business and working hard, and it was infuriating that many of the people we were selling homes to were allowed to have that deduction tax free, but somehow individuals out there trying to make it on their own, they were not eligible for the same treatment under the Tax Code. I am happy to say, I guess if I were to pick one area that I want to go to next personally, where I would like to see additional tax cuts, and what a great discussion this is, where do we go next, what taxes do we cut? How different from 1993 when they were talking about tax increases. I would like to see the marriage tax penalty eliminated. In our Nation today, if four people are working all at the same job, earning the same money, and two of those people are married to each other and two are not, the two people that are not married to each other pay less taxes than the two people in the same job earning the same money who are married to each other. And that does not seem fair. That is my top target next.”
