Do my taxes with tons of legal write-offs (accelerated depreciation for wxample) and even though I was living an above average lifestyle, my bottom line would show no taxable income. It qualified us for free lunches for our kids! My wife drew the line at that and wouldn't allow it. That is how screwed up our tax system is. Many years later, I recieved one of the very first "lifestyle audits" when the IRS changed audit procedures. Passed with flying colors, just like the first audit back in 84.
