Sadly. This seems to be the only way out right now.
Polls are great. The demographics of the poll are never revealed, so one doesn't know who was polled, where the poll was conducted, and if multiple responses (the blind internet response poll) were permitted.

Individual income taxes are going to the stratosphere. The "rate" may only go up for the top bracket, but deductions are going to be sliced big-time. Once that happens, everyone who itemizes will be pinched, and I would not be surprised to see the "standard deduction" shrunk as well.

There is no free lunch.

Whether that's being a nay-sayer, pragmatist or realist - semantics!
