My husband was complaining about how much we pay in taxes. I did a guesstimate on our taxes, and figured we have about 52k in writeoffs. Those writeoffs, in the end, have us paying less than 15% in taxes. He grudgingly allowed me to say that that really wasn't much at all. I pointed out that the tax code kinda really does favor the upper incomes because they're the ones who can afford to buy/invest in these writeoffs. How many people can afford two mortgages? Or moving expenses?
