The $8000 first time home buyer tax credit is a mistake. Congress should have enacted the original idea: a $15,000 tax credit. This goes for the repeat home buyer tax credit as well. As a matter of fact, I would like to have seen both tax credits even higher. If you’ll maintain an open mind for the next few minutes, I hope to show you how embracing these tax credits actually creates a “win-win” situation that benefits you and this great nation.
The inherent spirit of humankind is individualistic, creative and inclined toward action. The heart of man is inexorably drawn toward freedom: freedom to live, freedom to express and freedom to choose.

If you desire your own success, then you desire to become a DOER.
More specifically: every action you take to help another person receive the tax credit strengthens you as a DOER while at the same time weakening the architects – the very architecture – that imposes itself upon a free people with that tax credit. Eventually, Read more
