Now there's a bit of revisionist history.  It was Reagan and our very own
Phil Graham that got rid of all of the exemptions and deductions in the 80s.
The ever popular tax reform that lowered the top percentage rate but raised
the bottom rate,  removed all of the deductions that the middle class used
like interest paid on credit cards to buy a car.
