Is it, or is it not, your money?

     The government is considering disallowing or reducing the mortgage interest deduction, the child tax credit, and pretax health insurance accounts, among other tax deductions. Read here from the Wall Street Journal.
     Any time I read about the government looking for ways to "save money" by limiting your tax deductions because "they cost the government too much money," I always go back to the same question... Whose money does the government think it is? 
     They think it's theirs, of course.
     They can spend it better than you. So they take more of your money... and put it back where it belongs... into its own hands... and out to those it deems worthy.
     Somehow, I don't think this is the definition of justice.
     Next week, you will be given a clear choice in the voting booth. Do you want a bloated government, seizing more and more of what belongs to you? Or do you want freedom?
