I've been bothered by the tax deductibility of private jets for a long time. In fact it really p*sses me off.

Why should Tiger Woods (for example) get to deduct the cost of flying around in a Gulfstream? He should be able to deduct the cost of a full fare coach ticket. If he wants to fly any thing else: Great he can deduct the full coach fare, and pay the difference out of pocket.

Why should the US taxpayers subsidize the lifestyles of the uber-rich?
