Let's take some questions. Send them my way and I'll send back answers throughout the day!
@RepHultgren Most loopholes were purposely created as positive economic incentives. Can we identify those that work and those that don't?
@RepHultgren I argue that the religious tax exemption should be radically changed. Big $$ here http://bit.ly/XO7o2b
@MikeBrunoGeneva Most tax breaks do 'work' in the sense that they elicit a desired action (buying a house, donating to a charity)- (1/2)
@MikeBrunoGeneva But maybe the big Q is: which ones incentivize/maintain certain economic activities & are still fiscally responsible? (2/2)
@RepHultgren Exactly. Which return more than the taxpayer outlay in economic stimulus? Probably hard to know.
@RepHultgren Would you consider revamping the religious tax loophole? Public charitable work exempt. Prosthelytizing non-exempt. Huge $$
@DTOMe84 Going over the fiscal cliff would be disastrous. The president must present credible spending cuts. (1/2)
@DTOMe84 Uncontrolled spending weakens the economy – an economy that he owns. (2/2)
