I like having both options but I wish the two different comment types were not separate. Guess I'll play with the settings then delete all these comments..

Charity would get some of it, but I am keen on the Military and I believe infrastructure and scientific investment from the Government is in everyone's best interest. Now, let's follow the premise that the entire budget of the Federal Government is covered through other means...under this concept we wouldn't be asked to pay income taxes, further exposing how silly this hypothetical is, but we will leave it at that.

But, just stating what you feel to be the truth, ignoring facts, is less spin and more of what Stephen Colbert called "Truthiness", so I will give you that distinction.

But I do agree that this one group shouldn't be singled out to support this break for college students.

Not putting a spin on it, just being realistic. Technically you are correct…but I think we have seen far more tax breaks expire over the years than tax hikes.
