Again, I don't think anyone here is saying that ending these credits is vorboten on the surface, just that it's dishonest to argue that doing so is somehow substantively different than raising taxes just to make yourself feel more justified in calling for it. You are asking for a change in law that results in people paying more taxes. Whether you call it "ending a tax break" or "raising taxes" is entirely irrelevant.
