Cut the charitable-giving deduction too?  Thereby reducing the amount that
people give to charities to take care of all the social programs that even
the government doesn't have enough money to pay for, etc.?

And speaking personally, I rather appreciate the fact that we get a tax
credit and/or benefit not only for having children (i.e. for raising the
next generation of taxpayer, which is something our societies with their low
birth rites might want to encourage), but for our son's disability.


**I see both sides, but I still think a flat tax would provide a more fair
system.
