personal exemption of 4050. So that 5500 tax deduction they touted so loudly is really just a 1450 deduction, and to pay for it you lose thousands in other deductions. I don't live in a house and I work for a living, and I live in a state with high state and local taxes (hey, SOMEONE has to pay for the roads in all those taker red states!) so I'll be paying about 3K more per year. That's almost 300 per month. That's a payment on a small car.
