Over and over again you have chastized me for looking at broader effects of less progressive tax policies than you expouse. Here you are advocating exactly that approach. No matter what economic activity this break may encourage as a matter of just looking at the taxes colllected it is regressive. In all honesty I don't have much problem with this break but using your standard you should.
