Nine out of those same 10 Americans should be on the lookout for a hefty, "convenience fee" that comes with that new postcard. I hear the pitch of lower rates and protection of more cute and cuddly "first dollars," but I would like to see the fine print. What about the deficit? Does Congress still care about that? Is this thing going to get scored, or is Congress in a big rush? Can I see my score? Maybe each tax payer can get one on post card. Try before you buy(-in).

'Deductions' for corporations are called 'expenses', meaning costs of doing business. The costs of doing business (expenses) are always fully deductible.
