Exemptions
* In a June 23 letter, Susan J. Barretta writes, “A lot of us, in one way or another, are receiving ‘welfare’ from the government. The same people who criticize welfare recipients are probably getting a nice big mortgage interest write-off on their homes.” Wrong. Write-offs and exemptions are not receipts of anything from the government; they retain dollars already earned by oneself.
