If a hard-working skilled tradesperson is going from coast to coast and building infrastructure, helping businesses get started or, as we heard, helping to construct housing or long-term care facilities, they'll be capped out at $4,000 because it's an arbitrary number. Whereas if that's a business, and they're trying to deduct those same expenses for a worker who worked for them, they would not be capped. Why are we giving millionaires and billionaires a pass when we're hammering skilled trades workers?
