Exactly. Rescinding a tax break that is already 'out there' would
potentially really screw some people; and since not 100% of really
rich people are total fucking assholes and criminals, it might be best
to wait.

Yes, I do happen to believe that love is mainly about pushing
chocolate covered candies and, y'know, in some cultures, a
chicken. You can call me a sucker, I don't care, because I do
believe in it. Bottom line: it's couples who are truly right
for each other that wade through the same crap as everybody
else, but the big difference is they don't let it take them
down. One of those two people will stand up and fight for that
relationship every time. If it's right, and they're real lucky,
one of them will say something.
